Police say five people are dead and two others are injured after a shooting at a gas station in Springfield, Missouri.
Police Chief Paul Williams said Monday morning the dead include a Springfield police officer Christopher Walsh, three citizens and the gunman.
Williams said police began receiving reports of someone firing shots from a car late Sunday. The car eventually crashed into a Kum & Go gas station and convenience store.
Williams said the gunman entered the store and began shooting.
Two officers who arrived first were shot as they entered the store. Williams said Josiah Overton received non-fatal injuries and was taken to the hospital. Other officers who entered the store found three people and the gunman dead.
