A man was detained at a Springfield, Missouri, Walmart after he showed up there heavily armed and wearing body armor, causing shoppers to panic.
A store manager pulled a fire alarm and started yelling for people to evacuate. The off-duty firefighter was able to hold the man at gunpoint while police were called and detain him until they arrived to take over.
At this point, police don’t know what his motives were, but they still have him in custody and plan to find that out. They said the video he was seen recording in the story may have been posted to Facebook Live, so they intend to scour his social media for clues. The store was also covered in cameras, so police say they’ll be able to see his every step from the moment he arrived on the premises. Hopefully, there are some clues there.
It’s legal to openly carry a firearm in Missouri, as long as it isn’t done in a threatening manner. But police are holding the man anyway., though he didn’t specify what, if anything, the man has been charged with. Again, the firearms were legal as are the body armor and ammo. Reminder: The man inside the Missouri Walmart was arrested for causing panic – not for having loaded “tactical weapons," wearing body armor or carrying 100+ rounds of ammo in public, all of which was legal.
