"Excuse God I let you down, it wasn't your fault it was my own," it reads.

In the letter, the perpetrator complained of harassment at work, and that his colleagues made fun of him.

"I've been harassed by idiots with low intelligence and a lack of wisdom," he writes.

"I was just as guilty and disappointed my management team and everyone who has ever loved me by convincing them that I am normal."

The perpetrator apologizes in the note and explains that he didn't plan the act: "I promise things just worked out like I was being guided by Satan." He asked God's forgiveness for "what I did will do".

According to current knowledge, there are fewer than ten fatalities, a police spokesman told journalists on Wednesday night.

According to media reports, at least five injured people were taken to hospitals.

Nothing was initially known about the background.

As CNN reports, investigators suspect that the shooter was an employee or ex-employee of the supermarket.

The suspect is said to have opened fire in the break room, according to CNN, citing investigators.

Then he should have turned the gun on himself.

At 10:12 p.m. (local time), the police were alerted to a shot in a Walmart supercenter, said police spokesman Leo Kosinski.

Upon entering the building, officials found "several dead and several injured."

It is a very big business, the search for other possible victims is still ongoing.

Dozens of police cars and ambulances could be seen in pictures and videos in front of the mall.
