Don't they sell guns in Wal Mart? At least ammo?

I'm suggesting someone is packing heat, not that his a-hole is in any more imminent danger in TX than FL.

no clue. if the ex-employee thing that someone mentioned is real, maybe that's how.


Dispatch is saying detectives with district manager are at front of store? Reaching a little bit but seems there could be some logic with the disgruntled ex-employee angle.

doesnt seem to be much going on, fire trucks are headed back to their stations, cops are directing traffic...

eta: just said that should clear the store except for where the hostage situation is....

so seems like dude has hostages in there

Is someone an active shooter if they haven't shot anything yet?

I'm going to say this guy was pissed at one of his former co-workers and has taken that co-worker hostage. I don't think a mass shooting is what this guy had in mind at a Walmart in the middle of a work day.

Wonderful. It has been a whole 6 months since we've had a "workplace violence" media bit.

Just pray that Walmart doesn't make them. Otherwise, they wouldn't stop a red ryder.

Crazy. I used to drive that area all that time when I lived out that way. Never made it to that Wal-mart, though.

PD is going to breach the building. Probably someone infatuated with a coworker or something like that.
