The Pooler Police Department is conducting an active investigation into a deadly shooting that occurred Monday morning outside the Amazon fulfillment center on Triple B Trail.
According to authorities, the incident took place in the facility’s parking lot, where a victim was shot. Emergency medical services transported the individual to a Savannah hospital, where they were later pronounced deceased.
The Chatham County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim as 21-year-old Keontae Grinder, a resident of Liberty County.
Officials confirmed that Grinder sustained at least one gunshot wound. An autopsy has been scheduled as part of the ongoing investigation.
Investigators processed a significant crime scene, with at least 14 evidence markers visible within the cordoned-off parking lot.
A white Nissan vehicle was towed from the area as part of the evidence collection.
The incident prompted a lockdown at the Amazon facility, and employees who arrived for their shifts were informed of the closure.
Staff members were sent home for the day, with onsite counseling resources promised upon their return to work.
Amazon released a statement expressing their condolences:
“We’re saddened by this senseless act of violence and are focused on supporting our employees during this time.”
As of Monday evening, the Pooler Police Department has not provided updates regarding a suspect or arrest in connection with the shooting.
Authorities remain in the early stages of the investigation and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Updates will be shared as new details emerge.
OMAHA, Neb. — At approximately 5:00 p.m., officers with the Omaha Police Department (OPD) and personnel from the Omaha Fire Department (OFD) responded to reports of an active shooter and multiple victims at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Criss Library, located at 6401 University Drive.
The initial 911 call reported a mass casualty incident involving an active shooter with several individuals down inside the library.
In response, multiple law enforcement and emergency medical units were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers conducted a comprehensive search of the building and surrounding area.
No victims, evidence of gunfire, or active threat were located.
After clearing the scene, authorities determined that the report was false and appears to have been a swatting call — a deliberate act of making a false emergency report to prompt a large police response.
The Omaha Police Department has confirmed that there was no danger to the public or the university community at any time.
The incident remains under investigation to identify the source of the false report.
Swatting is a serious criminal offense, and those found responsible can face federal and state charges.
