UPDATE: The sheriff's office says the altercation inside the Walmart began after a man approached another person at the customer service counter. The aggressor allegedly told the man, "Hey I've got something for ya," walked away and then returned with a pair of scissors, holding them as if he were about to stab the other man. A sheriff's office spokesperson says the other individual drew his gun in self-defense and pointed it at the suspect. The suspect then dropped the scissors as he turned to run away. Officials say when he went to pick them back up, one witness allegedly shouted "gun!" prompting "total chaos" inside the store. Investigators are examining video from the scene and hope to release a description of the suspect soon. He could face aggravated assault charges, an EBRSO spokesperson said. The sheriff's office says it's confident the man with the gun acted lawfully and will not be charged.
