Springfield, MO: Walmart Gunman Thwarted

A 20 year-old man armed with a rifle and body armor entered a Springfield, Missouri Walmart on Thursday evening, and filmed himself walking around the store before being apprehended. No shots were fired, and police arrested the man without incident. His motive remains unclear. Many right-leaning media outlets have concentrated on the actions of the retired fireman who was legally armed and apprehended the suspect, through which he was credited with saving fellow customers. Most left-leaning media outlets have focused on the potential threat presented by a rifle-wielding man in a public place after two recent mass shootings.
