Long Beach police are investigating a shooting that took place at a supermarket in North Long Beach Tuesday evening.

Though no injuries were reported, the shooting prompted a lockdown at neighboring businesses and a response from the Long Beach Police Department’s SWAT team.

The shooting occurred just before 6:30 p.m. at a Superior Grocers in the 5400 block of Cherry Avenue.

According to police and witnesses, the shooting was the result of an argument between multiple people at the grocery store parking lot.

Erik Leon, a store manager, said he witnessed a group of about seven men fighting inside the store near one of the registers. Leon said that after about a minute, the men exited the store and that’s when the shooting took place.

Leon said he heard six to eight gunshots, and bullet marks could be seen in one of the pillars near the store exit. The store closed shortly after police arrived on the scene, he said.

Believing the suspect was possibly inside the store when they arrived, officers established a perimeter around the area and activated its SWAT team, according to the LBPD.

The store and the parking lot were eventually cleared and police were unable to locate the suspect.

Nico Warren, a Long Beach resident, said he was at a nearby Planet Fitness around the time of the shooting when the gym went into an emergency lockdown and everyone was asked to leave. “I’ve never heard of a business asking people to leave before,” Warren wrote.

Detectives were notified of the incident and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
