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.
One news report said none of Walmart’s security was on duty that day— odd coincidence.
Were there greeters at the door, or also curiously absent?Did he murder them as he walked in?
Seems like even greeters could have sounded some kind of alarm.
Attention shoppers & security personnel. Armed psychopath at north entrance.
