Man Kidnaps Child In Walmart - Shot Dead By Police Midwest City, Oklahoma: Midwest City Police have released surveillance video from a Walmart of a man who took a 2-year-old girl from a mother's shopping cart, and held a knife to the child's throat. Police Chief Brandon Clabes held a news conference Friday morning to reveal new details about the June 17 officer-involved shooting. Capt. David Huff shot and killed 37-year-old Sammie Lamont Wallace after he threatened the little girl.
The video released shows Wallace walking into the Walmart Neighborhood Market at Reno and Midwest Boulevard around 3 p.m. He's pushing a shopping cart and talking on a cell phone. The video shows Wallace circling the store until he sees a woman, identified as Alicia Keating, and her two daughters, ages 12 and 2. Wallace keeps walking but circles back to the frozen food aisle. While Keating's back is turned, Wallace grabs the child from the cart while the stunned 12 year old looks on. Wallace then walks up to the mother, hands her a cell phone and demands she call a police officer in Dallas. Keating begins to scream and pleads for the man to give her child back. The man pulls out a knife and threatens the little girl. That's when store employees approach the man and witnesses begin calling 911.
The Midwest City Police Department is just across the street from the store, and officers arrive within a minute. They quickly evacuate the store, including the little girl's mother. Chief Clabes says officers tried to negotiate with Wallace for more than half an hour. They eventually contacted the police officer in Texas he wanted to speak with, and the officer said Wallace had been harassing him.

You can’t beat their pet food prices.
Yes I was an associate for awhile too. I could write a book about all the crap I saw while working there. How long you last? I almost made it 3 years.
The chief demonstrated leadership by taking responsibility to take the man down. Did not delegate this haunting act to any of his subordinates. Tough decisions, but he made them. Not like so many of the political cowards in leadership positions today. This chief knew how to lead.
9 months.
And that was over 4 years ago. Haven’t set foot in a walmart since.
Clean up on isle 3 please.
fbi does keep stats on this. that is how we know 93% of black murders are committed by other blacks.
The race war has started. If the media continues to ignore it, it will only get bigger.
obama started it. everything he’s done has been fomenting it.
The walmart website allows you to see what’s in stock at a particular store. If I’m not planning to pass near a certain walmart, but I’m in the mood to pick up a couple of boxes, I check the website to see if they have the ammo I want in stock.
"His leg was not guilty of anything. It was the head that committed the crime."
I know. Never seen anything like it.
You and I are on the same page! On a given day, there are AT LEAST a half a dozen of these black on white crimes brought to our attention here on FR. Many of them end with the death of the perpetrator, so you just have to wonder what drives more and more blacks to take these actions. I am betting that the “race baters” like the “two reverends” have a lot to do with it. There seems to be the notion that the “reverends” have given the perps the green light that it's “within your rights as an aggrieved minority” to abuse white people. Fortunately, white folks have, in most cases, figured out what they need to do to be prepared to defend themselves.
and the security of that store....they see this guy racing up and down the aisles....NOT shopping.....shouldn't they have been a little more aware?...show a little more presence?
I was going to make fun of his pot belly but then finished the video....he did what most could not do.....and he saved this little girls life in doing so....
We have an excellent example in front of us. What drove Trayvon Martin to attack Zimmerman? I have my own ideas.
Good riddance.
