Employees told ABC 24 that the Harris was in the parking lot when she was shot multiple times.
The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office said the woman was shot three times and was pronounced dead on the scene.
“I came outside on my lunch break and literally heard shooting gunshots and I didn’t really see anything per day but I mean there were quite a few gunshots that went off,” an employee at the warehouse told News 3.
The victim’s identity and age were not immediately released.
An Amazon spokesperson told ABC 24 they’re working with officials in their investigation, saying they’re “heartbroken by this violent act.”
“We’re heartbroken by this violent act and we extend our deepest sympathy to the victim’s family. We are working to support our team and ensure their safety,” Amazon told the outlet.
“We’re also working closely with the police department as they lead the response and investigate.”
The Memphis Police Department released a statement following the shooting.
