Ed Harrell was waiting for his wife outside a Kroger in Jeffersontown on Wednesday when a man with a gun appeared.

Harrell, a Louisville resident, said he came face to face with the alleged shooter — later identified by police as 51-year-old Gregory Bush — outside the grocery.

The Jeffersontown Police confirmed that two people, a man inside the Kroger and a woman in the parking lot, were killed. Bush, who is being held on a $5 million bond, was arraigned Thursday morning on two counts of murder and 10 counts of wanton endangerment.

Inside the store, Harrell’s wife, Elaine, was in the produce section asking a Kroger employee where she could find beans for her white chili recipe, she said. She heard loud noises, and then people screaming and shouting.

Elaine Harrell ran with her cart out the front door along with other panicked shoppers.

Outside, she stood and tried to comfort a distraught Kroger employee. But then, she said, she heard shooting start again outside in the parking lot and ran back inside.

Ed Harrell was waiting on his wife in the parking lot when he heard gunshots, grabbed his revolver and crouched down next to his car. As he saw the gunman walk “nonchalantly” through the parking lot with a gun by his side, he called out to ask what was going on.

The gunman replied: "Don’t shoot me. I won't shoot you. Whites don’t shoot whites."

Harrell wasn’t sure what to do but said as the gunman moved a little, he dived behind a car and watched as the shooter got in a vehicle and drove off.

Police arrested Bush a short time later on Hurstbourne Parkway, near the store.
