Police release 911 calls from Super Target shooting

Emergency dispatchers fielded nearly a half dozen calls from customers at the Super Target in Apex, North Carolina Sunday.

The frantic callers all nervously reported that they heard gunshots inside the massive store at Beaver Creek Commons Shopping Center.

But none of them had seen anyone shot, nor could they give emergency dispatchers in Apex a description of the shooter, according to 911 recordings made public.

While hundreds of employees and customers fled the store, a cashier, Guadalupe F. Rosas, 58, was fatally wounded. When the gunshots stopped, a homeless, terminally ill man whom police say was responsible for the gunfire, Mervin Carroll Mims, 67, had turned the gun on himself and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Apex Police Department released the 911 recordings about 2:30 p.m. today.

Capt. Ann Stephens with the Apex police said this afternoon that incident reports in connection with the shooting have not yet been completed, but she said that more calls about the shooting were made to Raleigh’s emergency communications center.
