Not many details right now... http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...xas/54074090/1
All you new carriers going on your first Wally-World Walk, y'all be careful now...

I'm assuming, by the article, the suspect was drunk; is there a question they were high on drugs besides drunk?
Like was stated in the article, there is no routine call.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the officer's family.

I wonder if the two brave Walmart employees will get fired for doing the right thing?

No store should be open 24/7. We all need our downtime. Just my opinion. Prayers for the officer and his family. Very sad news.

If you search the local news sources for Austin, there are several articles. Here is one -
http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/austin/apd-officer-shot
I don't see any indication that the shooter was a former LEO. He did have a past problem with intoxication though. I don't have a facebook account, but you might find more info on him if you do. The link that I posted above includes a link to his facebook page, I think.

Not sure of the intent in posting under carry issues, but one item worth noting from a carry perspective is how quickly this went from a guy picking fights to suddenly shooting an officer who confronted him.
One thing that I've noted over the many years...things can go from bad to tragic in a heartbeat. For those that carry, you should be prepared in dealing with that transition via training and practice.
In this case, you have a trained professional...and even with his training and experience, he lost his life trying to protect and serve others. I'm sure the details will be analyzed as they become available...especially since it was captured on video. My prayers for him and the family that he left behind. Two daughters without their Daddy on Easter Sunday because some bastard took his life. That's truly sad.

<-- knows austin intimately
not to take away from the officer's death, but acevedo is a pos who panders to the leftist leaders in austin and ties the hands of officers on the street who are reluctant to take the necessary action for fear of superfluous criticism/scrutiny and ultimately termination, litigation, and/or incarceration.
rest in peace, officer.

I agree. Acevado is like too many chiefs; he's a politician first and a cop second. Also, the MSM in Austin will crucify a cop and try to ruin him even if it's a good shoot.

Well, I started this thread with the reference to first time carriers making their obligatory walk through Walmart thinking that would be the path the discussion would take. Guess the WWW (Wally-World Walk) might be a thing of the past...
Then I thought that someone would ask, "Did the shooter have a carry permit?" Nope, no one did.
Instead, y'all voiced concern, offered good thoughts and prayers for the fallen officer and his family.
Thank you...
