The Amarillo Police Department is reporting an active situation at the Amarillo Walmart at 4215 Canyon Drive. Early reports indicate an armed man is inside the store.

APD and several other agencies including DPS, Amarillo Emergency Management and Randall County are on scene. There are unconfirmed reports of a possible hostage situation. Police are searching for a Somalian man wearing Kakhi pants.

Police are shutting down I-27 & Georgia north-and-south-bound exits. Police are asking motorists to please avoid the area so that officers can focus on the scene and not traffic.

NewsChannel10 has multiple crews on the scene and will report details as they become available.

I find it VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND why this guy is not DRT (dead right there)!

There are no people in the Wal*Mart carrying?

In Amarillo, TX?

I am astonished!

The web page is from KFDA, the CBS affiliate in Amarillo.
Oddly, on my browser, the top banner shows an ad for NewsWest 9 (KFDA is channel 10) and an NBC logo. Peculiar.

Liberals are shocked, SHOCKED, when they learn that it’s not the dirt these third world violent Muslims that make these people violent third world Muslims. It’s the violent third world Muslims that make their backward countries violent third world hell holes.

Keep packing them in Obama. As if that will change their minds after a thousand generations of violent tribal warfare will just vanish and the TB, measles, and polio they are bring to their host nation will magically disappear.

Oldest grandson used to work about 40 miles from there. Said area where he worked is almost total illegals from Mexico, Central and South America including all their families. Employers even provide low cost housing. Few English speaking residents in small town and only one other person spoke English on his work crew. He left after one year and returned to Oklahoma.

Last time I was in Amarillo, seven or eight years ago, the city was going heavily Hispanic. The white population was moving to the west of the town at such a rate that a local wag said, “The way the center of Amarillo is heading west, in ten years, it will be in Tucumcari.”

Did the police shoot him or somebody else in the store at the time?
