This is Texas. In a Walmart.

If there's any place where customers would be armed, this has gotta be ground zero.

No, this wasn't a mass killer or even an "active shooter" as the media is describing this. No one other than the hostage taker was harmed.

Too early to say what it was but it's pretty safe to say it's not a jihadi.

Why didn't an armed customer stop the gunman?

Reports are saying douche was Somali. Not sure if the skinnies are attuned to jihad as much as they are to general mayhem wherever they go.

He probably just found out that Walmart was cancelling the use of Visa's in it's stores.

Got his hours cut for making too many throat-slitting gestures at the customers because they wouldn't buy anything they'd seen him touch. Had no choice but to chimpout after that.

Go stare down the barrel, and tell the crew of the HMCS Toronto about your censorship. Should go over really well

Update

$1:

Authorities have identified the employee as 54-year-old Mohammad Moghaddam, and cited the promotion dispute as a strong motive for the hostage situation that eventually led to his death.

An early investigation has led police to believe that Moghaddam entered the store located near I-27 and Georgia around 11 a.m. and fired at least one gunshot toward the ceiling. He then forcibly took the manager into an office in the back of the store, possibly belonging to the second employee who was held hostage.

Shortly after, multiple police agencies from across the area quickly responded to the scene. Personnel from APD, Department of Public Safety, the Randall County Sheriff's Office and others blocked off the surrounding area to motorists as they secured the area.

SWAT officers entered the Walmart shortly after noon and found one of the hostages uninjured near the office. The tactical team made their way inside of the office and reportedly found an armed Moghaddam and the manager inside. Moghaddam was then shot by two SWAT officers and is believed to have died immediately.

Neither of the hostages suffered injuries.
