Report of armed man leads to lockdown at Wal-Mart
http://www.kirksvilledailyexpress.co...wn-at-Wal-Mart
From the article:
Kirksville, Mo. —
A report of an armed man acting erratically in the Wal-Mart parking lot Wednesday led to the store being temporarily locked down before Kirksville Police responded to and diffused the situation with no injuries.
According to Kirksville Police Chief Jim Hughes, a passerby stopped a Kirksville Police officer and said they had seen an individual acting erratically in a truck in the Wal-Mart parking lot shortly before 2:30 p.m. The passerby believed the individual had a gun to his head.
"We don't take these things lightly," Hughes said, "especially nowadays."
KPD responded to control the scene and ordered a lockdown of the store both to keep shoppers in and prevent the individual from entering the store.
After identifying the vehicle and person in question, Hughes said a decision was made on the scene for police to attempt contact. They were able to communicate with him and he voluntarily exited the vehicle. No weapon was found and the individual was taken into custody without incident less than 20 minutes after police arrived on scene.
The individual was talking on a cell phone at the time of the incident. It's likely that is the object the passerby identified as a gun.
Hughes said no crime was committed and no additional information, including the person's name, would be released.
Wal-Mart security offered full cooperation, Hughes said. The Adair County Sheriff's Office also responded and offered assistance, but Hughes said the incident was resolved prior to their active involvement.
I like how 'police diffused the situation'. WHAT situation? (maybe talking on a cell phone while in a vehicle is RAS in that area?). OK, yeah, the 'passerby' thought they saw a gun. Still.
People are wrapped WAY too tight.

A classic example of people perceiving things how they want to perceive them. It would be the same thing as having an accident at an intersection with 5 bystanders watching. Each bystander would prob tell a different story as to what happened. In this case, the witness thought the man had a gun. I'm speculating, but the witness is prob an anti gun to begin with.
I would rather die in a shootout than get assassinated in a "gun free zone"

Yes this is where things are going. Too many stupid people that can't mind their own damn business and make up seeing things in their mind.
The guy that was reported and arrested was probably having a heated (or not) discussion on his cell phone with someone.
