    They say former employee was "disgruntled". Maybe so after being fired with 25 years of Wally Service and gets ZERO benefits. He set a fire in store, killed 1 inside and injured others, Chased Manager into parking lotand killed him. Shot Cop in the back (vest save) and shooter was shot.

    No reason for the termination from Wally yet. However, Wally like other businesses culls senior workers before retirement to cut cost of retirement pay/benefits, they just eliminate the position. This not the first time someone decided "Take my living, I'll take yours. I don't condone his actions but understand his being highly upset if this is how it went down. Any bets Wally's got a Team of lawyers and Admin specialists doing cleanup in Isle 0 right now.

    Post office does this too. My aunt Praised for 25 years then they started making her life hell. The last 2 years were brutal. They were doing stuff to her to make her quit or have her go off so they could fire her

    Says in the article that he was 39. You sure he put in 25 years at Wally World? I didn't see that in the article. Read where he had a knife or something and another employee tried to report him to the police.

    I read a few early articles then posted the the most informational. One said "25 years" and nothing contradicted that info so I listed it. Early reporting can be inaccurate, as was mine. Lol

    I don’t understand this “firing older workers so they don’t have to pay pension” thing.
    You are vested after so many years, usually 5 or 10. They can’t take that away from you.

    Well NBC has reported 19 dead and 40 injured...
    By Minyvonne Burke and Andrew Blankstein

    A gunman opened fire Saturday in a Walmart and around a nearby shopping mall in El Paso, Texas, leaving at least 19 people dead and 40 injured, law enforcement officials said.

    Employees and shoppers described scenes of confusion and fear as they realized the sudden loud noises they heard were not boxes being dropped or construction but gunshots.

    One suspect was in custody, officials said. Law enforcement sources say police identified the suspect as Patrick Crusius, 21, from the Dallas area.

    Appears the asshat was a believer in eye and hearing protection.
