Well, its hit close to home today.
There is an active shooter in my local Walmart....he's holding hostages as well. The news is reporting that its a worker that has fired shots.
I live about a 1.5 miles from this...
If you pray, say a prayer for those involved. They have been able to evacuate most people, but there are still some in the store.
Updated: they are calling this a work place violence. The shooter has been shot by the police. No word on the hostages other than they've been taken to the ER.

I am so sorry that this is happening so close to you (or anywhere in the world, really). I hope there is a resolution soon and that people are alright.

I just saw that. I have so much family in the Amarillo/Canyon area. I've been to that Walmart many times. Prayers to everyone.

I hope all involved are okay except for the shooter, I hope he offed himself. I get tired of hearing about these mass murderers all the time. It's better if they kill themselves and save us the time and trouble of convicting them, then paying to put them in prison for ages. I know I sound cold and harsh but that's where I'm at.

I updated the original post that the shooter was shot dead. All they are releasing last I heard (maybe 10 min ago) is that the store manager was taken to a hospital. |

I sure hope the store manager is OK. I cannot get over how selfish some people are, that they take things out on innocent people. I hope you can find some peace, it is SO hard when things like this happen so close to home. We had one very close to home just over 2 years ago at Fedex in Kennesaw, GA. My friend's husband was there on shift and it was a very tense few hours not knowing. |

I'm glad to hear that it wasn't any worse. I hope that no one besides the shooter was injured.
