GREENVILLE, N.C. — A man armed with a shotgun wounded one person at a North Carolina law firm Friday before crossing a busy street and entering a Wal-Mart, where he shot three more people before officers subdued him, police said.

Greenville Police Chief Hassan Aden said the suspect was shot by officers at the entrance of the store. He didn’t have the conditions of those shot and didn’t have a motive. Aden was scheduled to provide additional information at a news conference.
