The woman was hospitalized with critical injuries before she died, police noted.

7News Denver reported that the Thornton Police Department's SWAT team and several federal ATF officers responded to the scene.

Hayne Rucker, who had been shopping at the Walmart at the time of the shooting, said the incident was a reminder of recent tragedies like the Las Vegas shooting last month and the New York City terrorist attack on Tuesday.

"You can't get that out of your mind," he said. "When you're in a public place and you hear gunshots, that's kind of the first thing that comes to your mind. Here we go again. Looks like this time, we are potential targets."
