SPRINGFIELD, Mo.– The Springfield Police Department tweeted out Thursday that an armed man was arrested at the Walmart Neighborhood Market on W. Republic Road.
His intent was not to cause peace or comfort to anybody that was in the business. In fact, he’s lucky to be alive to be honest.”

Ozarks Public Radio reports:
Springfield police have arrested a man who they say was “heavily armed” and wearing body armor in a Springfield Walmart Neighborhood Market Thursday afternoon.
No shots were fired, and no injuries have been reported, officials say.
According to the Springfield Police Department, officers were dispatched to the Walmart on 3150 W. Republic Road around 4:10 p.m. Thursday after receiving several calls of a potential active shooter.
There, an armed, white male in his twenties was detained by an armed off-duty fireman until police arrived and took the man into custody, according to the SPD.
The Springfield, Missouri arrest comes on the heels of two mass shootings in Ohio and Texas last week. The shooter in Dayton, Ohio reportedly wore a bulletproof vest and the shooter in El Paso, Texas killed 22 people at a Walmart store there.
The Springfield Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to a police officer to call the department at 417-864-1810.

Thank God the Firefighter was armed.
As a local, I should tell you that this could have gone down much differently if not for Missouri being an open carry state.
What if that firefighter was not armed?
Missouri allows open carry without a permit, so long as the firearm is not displayed in an angry or threatening manner.
Only if the victims of the weekend mass shootings were as lucky:
- El Paso Walmart mass shooting: The pieces that don’t fit
- As Media Focused on Mass Shootings, They Ignored Liberal Chicago: So Many Weekend Gunshot Victims That a Major Hospital Had to Stop Accepting Patients
- Ohio Mass Shooter Attended Antifa Rally Armed With Gun Similar to One Used in Massacre
God was with the inhabitants of that Springfield, MO Walmart on Thursday, and so was a firefighter with a gun.
This mass shooting was STOPPED by a good guy with a gun.
So it probably won’t get mentioned much in the national news.
