I have not heard any report of officers entering the Walmart in El Paso during the 20 minute shooting spree while he chased, targeted and killed people. Did they just wait for him to leave and catch him in a road block or car stop?
They thought he was in the mall. It had not yet opened.
IIRC, the El Paso Walmart did NOT have any armed guard in position at the time the shooter initiated his rampage.
IOW, the store/mall was a soft target.
“the El Paso Walmart did NOT have any armed guard in position at the time the shooter initiated his rampage.”
... which is the case for most stores in the U.S.
It’s been reported that the El Paso police never fired their weapons. They arrested the killer at a stop light near Walmart when he surrendered.
Has anyone explained what exactly was happening in those 20 minutes he was shooting?Perhaps the police were following the old Columbine strategy of waiting for him to run out of bullets.
Because many forbid firearms in their stores.
They were expecting the greeters to handle it...
Have you searched the Internet yourself?
20 minutes? Doesn’t WalMart sell guns....? Don’t they sell some ammo (except .22)....? A manager couldn’t round up a couple code 50s and execute a flanking maneuver?
“....we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well, and we work very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate.”
Code 50s?
Because of the costs.
What an ignorant comment. They arrived in six minutes.
I might suggest you do some reading before shouting stupid comments from the grandstands.
I thought he actually did run out of bullets. I just tried to search it, but it seems like it is lost in the frenzy of news about it for now.

The contrast between responses of the El Paso police and the Dayton police could not be more stark.
The Dayton locals were rightfully proud of the rapid and aggressive response of their officers to QUICKLY put a stop to their gunman’s spree. For some strange reason the El Paso locals seem proud of the fact that their police did not fire a shot. To which I say...WTF?
I, too, would like an accurate timeline of events, of this shooting.
From the time the gunman/men walked in, until the time they arrested the one guy on the street corner.
Where is that timeline?
Surviellance cams should easily provide a majority of the timeline.
Someone at Google is not informed-last time I checked, the state bordering Texas on the NW was New Mexico-NM-not Arizona-AZ...
What an ignorant comment. They arrived in six minutes.
Arriving and entering the building where the shooting was taking place are two different things. Time line on shooting is 20 minutes from first shot to last shot. Police did not fire a shot. He left the building/area and was stopped about a block away. How many police entered the Walmart and confronted the shooter? Its starting to sound like the south Fl school shooting where the officers took cover and waited for backup while the shooting was going on in the building
.
Thanks for the pic. I used to live in the apartment complex at the top right.
It is a little misleading as the actual Cielo Vista Mall is the large building on the far right, not the center building.
