The perpetrator killed himself at his home two days later on June 21 with a self-inflicted gunshot. The incident marked the deadliest mass shooting in Greenville history, since March 2021.

Background
The Town of Greenville, also referred to as Greenville, is a town situated within Greenville County, which is where the shooting rampage occurred. It serves as the county administrative center for the county with the same name. It lies in Robloxia's Wisconsin state. Many individuals went shopping for food and summer apparel on the day of the shooting rampage, including the victims. The Chariot Clothing Store, where the suspect opened fire for the first time, is a supermarket that is situated in Greenville's central business district.

The residential area, which the final shooting took place is called Hardersfield. At the time of the attack, twenty-one people were present at a 16-year-birthday old's celebration that was going on at a house nearby.

Benjamin had first intended to pretend that his charger was not working before approaching a staff member and asking a question prior to firing. In his journal, he wrote that the strategy was "going to make everyone feel suspicious," therefore he finally abandoned the notion.

The Chariot Clothing Store shooting
On June 19, 2024, Benjamin Noah departed from his home, and drove a 2006 Chevrolet Platoro a distance of a few miles to The Chariot Clothing Store. According to multiple individuals, the car appeared to have travelled a few miles per hour over the speed limit on the way. Additionally, Benjamin texted his friend, who was the age of 35, while he was driving. The most of the texts stated that Benjamin was going to a store, but the final one stated that Benjamin planned to "shoot" there. The friend immediately responded, "What?" and attempted to call the friend, but Benjamin refused to pick up the phone. Ultimately, the automobile struck a sign, spun out, and came to a halt next to a tree just two blocks from the store at around 10:07 a.m. (UTC-5). Initially, a nearby observer witnessed the car crash and called the police to request assistance since he believed the person inside was hurt. Despite drawing attention and inspiring bystanders assisting him, he eventually exited the car and made his way to the parking lot. According to a witness, he was unharmed and managed to make it to the store while hiding the Yukon-11.

At 10:12 a.m., Benjamin started shooting rounds of ammunition at a number of individuals; one of the bullets fired hit the store employee at his weak point, namely his head, causing him to die instantly. One of the bullets also pierced the store's window and injured a 43-year-old man in the store. Inside of the store, customers throw themselves to the floor and hide for cover, while others ran to the back of the building. Video surveillance at the building's front entry captured Benjamin shortly after the shooting in the store approaching the doors, opening it and going inside. According to a statement from the store, after receiving a warning from a customer, a staff member hurried to the entrance and alerted another staff member about the shooter before rushing to the manager to ask that the establishment be put on lockdown.

However, it was already too late because the suspect had already entered the building. Immediately, he once more started shooting, hitting three more people in the neck, face and arms. At 10:14 a.m., the Greenville Police department received several calls, reporting gunshots at the store. Noah repeatedly knocked food items off the shelf as police officers were arriving to the scene, while also firing at more customers. Seconds later, a male Robloxian screamed out in fear, which got the shooter to return back and shot him few times in different parts of the body, in front of several individuals. As claimed by an officer, a crowd of panicked workers and shoppers sprinted out from the left side of the building and continued on running, until they were far away from the place as possible. When the first officers arrived, two figures were on the ground, bleeding uncontrollably. One of them passed away shortly after.

While going on the westside of the hallway, Benjamin spotted a door that headed to another part of the store. He gently opened the door after realizing that someone must at least be inside. When he did, he was met with a cacophony of staff members screaming and wailing. The six employees were all shot by Benjamin at this point, however they all survived the gunshot wounds despite being discovered by officers to be "not living." According to a witness, he stated that he spotted the suspect, Noah to have seen grinning while performing feats that were captured in the act as the group members were yelling in pain.

Benjamin then left the room, covered in blood and continued on. While walking, a police officer yelled out, "Get your [BEEP] over here!". When Benjamin heard the voice, he hurried as quickly as he could to the right side of the building. However, as he was going, he ran into a two-year-old who began to cry and fell to the ground. He fatally shot the kid in a fit of rage and said, "Shut up, moron!" before running away. The officer then returned back outside, calling for immediate backup. Benjamin then walk outside of the exits and ran to an empty car, broke through a window, before driving off.

Seven fatalities and 18 injuries were recorded; six from the store and one from outside.

Jimbo's Subs & Wraps shooting
Around 12:01 p.m., a camera tape showed Benjamin Noah walking toward a second business in Greenville's downtown center. Police later discovered his prior automobile in a ditch next to a river after he had suddenly abandoned it. Shortly after entering Jimbo's Subs & Wraps, he fired ten rounds of gunfire, one of which struck a man in the face and killed him, and another of which injured a 10-year-old youngster. For a while, Benjamin laughed as customers fled the sandwich store in fear.

After a short while, Benjamin discovered a previously unknown door, where he entered in the secret cellar beneath Jimbo's Subs & Wraps. He fatally shot one employee and injured eleven others there. When a client asked him why he was shooting, he said, "Until you play cheerful music, I will keep shooting!" and continued firing until the music stopped. He was able to escape through the front door and abandon the area as swiftly as possible before the authorities arrived.

Victims
In total, Benjamin Noah ultimately killed 24 Robloxians and injured around 75+ additional others. One body was found in the parking area and seven victims were verified to be deceased at The Chariot Clothing Store. In the second attack, 11 people were hurt, including a 10-year-old child, but only three people died. In the third and fourth attacks, twelve additional people perished; two of the perished were in a birthday celebration with the host being a 16-year-old.
