CLEVELAND — The man accused of fatally shooting an employee at a Costco in Strongsville last month was arraigned in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas on Monday morning.

The defendant, 22-year-old Christian Bryant, pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and two counts of felonious assault for the death of 61-year-old employee Randy Corrigan.

Bryant was given a $5 million bond, ordered to wear a GPS monitor, and told not to leave the state of Ohio if he posts bail. He was also ordered to submit a DNA sample.

Strongsville Police said that on April 25, officers responded to the Costco on Royalton Road for a report of a shooting, and when they arrived, they found Corrigan had been shot multiple times.

Good Samaritans administered first aid to the 61-year-old before he was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

According to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office, Bryant was armed with a .40-caliber handgun with a 50-round drum magazine when the shooting occurred.
