BREAKING: Good Guy With Gun Stops Potential Attack At Walmart After Man Shows Up With Rifle, Body Armor

[ducks]

An off-duty firefighter who had a firearm with him stopped a potential attack from taking place at a Walmart in Missouri after a 20-year-old man showed up to the store with a rifle, body armor, and over 100 rounds of ammunition.

"His intent was not to cause peace or comfort to anybody that was in the business," Lt. Mike Lucas with the Springfield Police Department said. "In fact, he’s lucky to be alive still to be honest."

Although it's not yet clear what the man's intent was, Lucas said, "We definitely have some crimes here."

Lucas said that there may have been a Facebook Live posted by the suspect and that law enforcement officials are conducting an investigation and looking through the suspect's social media.

KOLR news anchor tweeted "20-year-old man with rifle, handgun & body armor arrested at Walmart on Republic. SFD Police say he had 100+ rounds of ammunition. Off-duty firefighter with concealed carry gun held him at gunpoint until officers arrived about 3 minutes later"P

The Springfield Police Department released this statement:

At approximately 4:10 p.m. Springfield Police Officers were dispatched to 3150 W. Republic Rd. to a Walmart Neighborhood Market. An armed white male in his twenties was detained by an armed off-duty fireman until officers arrived on scene and took the suspect into custody. No injuries were reported and no shots were fired. At this time, the investigation is on-going and we are working to determine his motives.

I'm glad someone stopped another white guy from shooting up more innocent people.

[ElNono]

He was just carrying a rifle and 100 rounds of ammo, what's the crime, tbh?

[Sir Johnny]

Walking around with a rifle, how dumb was this guy?

Seriously. What are they going to charge him with?

Police say a man was arrested Thursday after he showed up at a Springfield Walmart store with a loaded rifle and a bulletproof vest.

Lt. Mike Lucas with the Springfield Police Department said the incident occurred at about 4:10 p.m. at the Walmart Neighborhood Market on West Republic Road.

Lucas said the man showed up to the business with body armor and military-style clothing and then walked inside carrying a “tactical rifle” and another gun.

As shoppers were panicking and fleeing the store, Lucas said the man was taking video on his phone and making comments to people while pushing a shopping cart.

Lucas said the suspect then walked out of the store, where an off-duty firefighter held the suspect at gunpoint until police arrived moments later.

The suspect, a 20-year-old white man, was arrested, but Lucas said police are still working to determine his motives and whether he intended to shoot anyone.

Whitey just exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.

I mean, what's the point of owning all of that "personal protection" if you're not going to use it? With so many crazy white guys running around shooting things up, I wouldn't go to Walmart unarmed. that. Dude was just protecting himself and his fellow blue-light shoppers, probably just went to pick up some milk. What have we come to as a nation if a guy can't go shopping with his 2nd Amendment protection?

Also, I'm shocked, SHOCKED, they took him alive.

white guy was obviously trolling.

Yeah because white people are the ones to worry about...
As usual Black people are responsible by FAR for the most amount of spree/mass shootings(defined as three or more victims)

The media may LIE to you but don't let that blind you to the FACTS and REALITY as recorded by every Fed and State law enforcement agency
even the NYT and Washington Post own databases

Between July 16th and July 28th 2019 there were 36 mass shooting across the USA
Blacks were suspects in 34 of them,Whites ONE,Hispanics the other one.

Dat some Blake Zero .

Open carry doesn't mean non-concealed, dip . And certainly there are restrictions on open carry as it applies to assault weapons, too.

No one in the media,Twitterverse wants to talk about the beyond tragic levels of gun violence,homicide within the black community.
Because that is where the vast majority of crime and gun violence happens,Black on Black crime in impoverished inner city ghettos.

Its not White people randomly killing their neighbors at alarming rates.
