Police kill man with rifle at Walmart

Authorities say a man in a Wal-Mart store reportedly waved a rifle at customers, including children and was fatally shot by police when he wouldn't drop the weapon.

The man shot Tuesday night was identified Wednesday by police as 22-year-old John Crawford.

He died at a hospital.

It's unclear why Crawford had the weapon in the store.

A statement from police didn't address Crawford's motives or provide further details about him.

Authorities say a customer also died after suffering a medical problem during the evacuation of the store.

Police identified her as 37-year-old Angela Williams of Fairborn.

No one else was injured.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan says the company is working with investigators.

State investigators will review the shooting in the Dayton, Ohio, suburb of Beaver Creek.
