A man clad in body armor and carrying "tactical weapons" was arrested Thursday after sparking mass panic at a Walmart in Missouri β less than a week after 22 people were killed in a shooting at an El Paso Walmart.
Dmitriy Andreychenko, 20, was carrying guns loaded with more than 100 rounds of ammunition, KY3 reported. He grabbed a shopping cart upon entering the store and started recording himself on a cellphone while walking the aisles.
Though shots were not fired, chaos ensued, and terrified shoppers reportedly ran out of the Walmart after the store manager pulled a fire alarm to warn them.
An off-duty firefighter detained Andreychenko at gunpoint outside the store, and police then took him into custody, authorities said.
