Walmart where El Paso mass shooting occurred to reopen in November, will include memorial

The El Paso Cielo Vista Walmart store, where the Aug. 3 mass shooting took place, is tentatively set to reopen Nov. 6 after renovation of the store's interior is completed, a Walmart official said Friday.

The company announced Aug. 21 that the store would be renovated and reopened in three to four months because the store's employees and El Paso community leaders told Walmart officials they wanted it to reopen.

Construction inside the store is going smoothly and "Nov.6 is the date we're working toward. It's not an absolute date," said Randy Hargrove, a spokesman at Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.
