A man in his 20s, outfitted with weapons, body armor, military-style fatigues and more than 100 rounds of ammunition, was arrested Thursday after causing a mass panic at a Walmart in Missouri.
According to local CNN affiliate KYTV, no shots were fired but the man was filming himself walking around the store with his phone.
A manager pulled the fire alarm to evacuate the store, and an off-duty firefighter detained the man until police arrived.
“All we know is the fact that he walked in here heavily armed with body armor on, in military fatigues and caused a great amount of panic inside the store. So he certainly had the capability the potential to harm people,” Springfield police lieutenant Mike Lucas told KYTV. “And then obviously what’s happened in Texas and Dayton and all that kind of stuff in the last seven days — that’s on everybody’s mind.”
The shooting massacre in El Paso took place at a Walmart store.

Legalized terror. Now we’ve got folks arming up just for the laughs and clicks for their instagram accounts.
Arrested without incident.
What would have happened had he been Black? or any other non-white-guy attire?
Death by lead-poisoning.
Somehow however, this seems like some kind of set-up to PROVE that a “Good Guy with a Gun” can “protect us” and thus we don’t NEED any stinking gun-controls!
It seems pretty convenient that the armed “off-duty Firefighter” just HAPPENED to be standing outside the same emergency door this guy exited and “held him at gunpoint” until the police arrived.
There is no good reason why body armor is available to everyone. That’s an easy fix. Only allow it to be sold to the military and law enforcement. Bubba doesn’t need body armor to protect himself when he’s out shooting Bambi.
They’re gonna take back our government when the tyrants take over.
