GLENOLDEN, PA — A man accused of opening fire at a Walmart in Delaware County and injuring an employee has been identified, and he remains at large, police said.

The shooting happened around 7 p.m. Friday at the Walmart on North MacDade Boulevard, police said.
Police told NBC10 that a customer — later identified as Waite — pulled out a gun and fired five to 10 shots.
A Walmart employee was struck in the calf and brought to a hospital, police told 6abc Action News. She's expected to recover.

"We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Walmart associates who immediately stepped forward to assist," said Darby Township Police. "The professionalism and compassion displayed by the entire staff during a difficult situation did not go unnoticed."
