CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Multiple people dialed 911 after hearing multiple gunshots ring out near a busy intersection.

The shooting happened just after 10 p.m. Tuesday.

When officers got to the store, police say the suspect had already left the business.

Corpus Chrisit Lieutenant William Broyles said at the scene, "Updates on the call was that the suspect was shooting and entered the Walgreens and Holly and Weber. And at that point in time, the Walgreens employees and customers had already left through the front door or barricaded themselves in the back."
