CONCORD, N.C. — Police said a person is in custody after they drove a car into a Walmart early Friday in Concord.

According to officials, someone drove a car into the store, but that driver has been arrested. Their name has not yet been released. Sources told Channel 9 anchor Susanna Black that the driver is a former Walmart employee.

Channel 9 crews reported that dozens of police, fire and EMS crews could be seen at the store, with most of the activity focused around the pharmacy and grocery entrance.

The front door to the store was mangled from the impact.

Channel 9 learned that first responders were able to get all the employees out of the building and no injuries were reported. The store was scheduled to open at 7 a.m. but will remain closed indefinitely.

A Walmart worker who was inside the store at the time shared photos of the aftermath with Channel 9, showing aisles damaged and items strewn across the floor.

A worker in the building said that after crashing through the front doors, the car drove around inside the store and employees all ran outside. Witnesses told Channel 9 that the vehicle was heavily damaged.

It’s unclear if the car is still inside the building. Police have not shared any other details and it was still unclear what led to the incident.

>> Channel 9′s Anthony Kustura and Susanna Black are with investigators on the scene and will have live updates throughout the morning on Eyewitness News.
