Craigslist Sale Ends in Shots Fired, Shakopee Walmart Locked Down

Police are investigating after a Craigslist sale turned into an attempted robbery and shots fired outside of the Shakopee Walmart. 

The Shakopee Police Department responded to the Walmart at 8101 Old Carriage Court around 6:30 Monday night on reports of shots fired.

The suspect fled into a vehicle with another male inside.  

Police are searching for the two suspects, who were driving a grey or silver Chevy Venture van, with an unknown Minnesota license plate.
