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.

Because nothing ever happens in Amarillo.

Until it does.

Tomorrow, everyone will be carrying.

Really? I keep seeing Somalian in the newsfeeds.

Somalia is 98% Muslime.

"The 2010 U.S. Religion Census: Religious Congregations & Membership Study (RCMS) is a county-by-county enumeration of religious bodies in the US."

There's Amarillo at the top of the panhandle in orange and Lubbock in orange right below. They're up and down I-35 from Dallas to San Antonio and to the east (nothing good ever comes from east of I-35).

“I read something recently where Amarillo is overrun with
refugees.”

Amarillo by morning, up from Sarmanyo......

“Early reports indicate an armed man is inside the store. “

I was at Wally World on Monday, and nobody called the cops on me.

Yeah. I hate to say it, but everyone should carry everywhere (except the post office, of course).
