Tennessee Kroger shooter was vendor who’d just been fired

A man who opened fire on workers and customers in a Tennessee grocery store on Thursday had been an outside vendor let go from his job that morning, cops confirmed on Monday.

Uk Thang, 29, killed one person and injured a dozen more at Kroger in Collierville, then killed himself to end the bloody carnage.

Four people were still hospitalized in stable condition on Monday, Collierville Police Department said in a news release.

Police declined to say the shooter’s name to avoid giving him notoriety and they identified him by scrawling his name on a notepad at a press briefing, WJHL-TV reported. He had worked in the sushi department, the station said.
