"Police say the man had tactical weapons," KY3 reports. Police say the man walked into the store, grabbed a cart and began pushing it around the store. They say he used his cellphone to record himself walking through the store. KY3 reports the store's manager pulled a fire alarm, urging people to escape.

Springfield Police Lt. Mike Lucas tells KY3 the man intended to cause chaos. "His intent was not to cause peace or comfort. ...He's lucky he's alive still, to be honest," Lucas tells KY3.
We need to ban Walmart.
Red Flag worthy?
Even more sad they're so young. This guy is only 20. The other men were in they're 20s
What the hell is going on?
Officers arrested?
Media inspired copycat. Ban the media.
What does that even mean?
I wager that is all the synthetic estrogen in the water supply. To my knowledge they do not filter that crap out.
It also explains all the homosexuals that are running around.
I thought this was America!
“What the hell is going on?”
The destruction of a sick nation that turned its back on God.
Another deplorable strikes! Call CNN!!!
AS much as I dislike them, it is a constitutional freedom and should be protected at all costs.
The whole nation is becoming Chicago.
If you see something....DO something. That was easy.
The fake news is driving people crazy. Anybody with 2 brain cells to rub together can see that. Unfortunately, many suburban women will blame Trump instead.
Wal-Mart is a third world $h1thole.
This sounds like a publicity stunt. He wasn’t an active shooter. He never shot. Either he wanted his 15 minutes of fame or he chickened out. It’s true he’s lucky no one lit him up. MO is a concealed carry state, they do carry and so do I when I visit relatives there. I was in fear for my life would seem to have covered the folks there. Curiouser and curiouser it goes.
If I weren't a Republican, I'd be crazy too.
