    Should Walmart, Kroger and other retailers ban carrying guns in stores?
    [USA TODAY]
    Alexander Coolidge
    ,USA TODAY•August 20, 2019


    After shootings at Walmart, Kroger, Waffle House, Macy's and others, are you comfortable shopping or visiting a business where patrons are permitted to bring their weapons?

    Gun-rights advocates say allowing shoppers to carry guns permits them to defend themselves and others, while skeptics say it could add more danger and confusion at a crime scene.

    On August 3, a gunman stormed an El Paso Walmart, killing 22.

    Four days later, the widow of a man shot to death in a Louisville Kroger supermarket is suing the retailer, claiming it didn't do enough to prevent his murder.

    The lawsuit against Kroger also brings to light a multitude of largely ignored victims from more than two dozen shootings – most in the past seven years.

    Rocked by two mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton this month that killed more than 30 people, Americans are again debating gun-control measures.


    Security guard Ali Mahmood blocks the entrance to the Jeffersontown Stony Brook Kroger next to flowers to honor the victims of fatal shooting that left two dead yesterday on October 25, 2018.

    But mostly silent on the issue are major retailers that have the authority to restrict guns on their private property but don't.

    The Enquirer, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, contacted a dozen of the nation's top retailers about their policies; only one responded.

    This is despite the fact that nearly half of mass shootings (45.6%) occur in business settings, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    This month's carnage marks nearly 40 incidents in retail establishments and other businesses that have killed or wounded almost 600 people in nearly a decade and a half, according to a database by the Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. The database tracks all U.S. mass homicides since 2006 with at least four victims within a 24-hour period regardless of weapon.

    Kroger's gun policy challenged in court

    Cincinnati-based Kroger's policy, like many retailers, is to follow local and state laws on whether to permit gun owners to carry a firearm slung over their shoulder or holstered on a hip.

    In states such as Ohio and Kentucky that don't explicitly ban the open carry of firearms, it's up to the property owner to establish what's permissible in stores.

    A lawsuit filed August 7 by Charlotte Stallard in Jefferson Circuit Court in Louisville singles out Kroger's "open carry" policy as a contributing factor in her late husband's, Maurice Stallard's, death. It also said store security made no attempt to prevent the shooting and has no policy to ensure someone with a gun is legally permitted to have firearms.

    The lawsuit claims Kroger was negligent considering 25 shootings since 1991 have taken place at its stores – all but two have taken place since 2012.

    One of those shootings occurred in 2007 at the same Kroger store where Stallard was murdered. Besides Stallard, there were seven shootings at other stores that killed eight people.

    "Kroger permitted customers to carry firearms inside its stores and elsewhere on the property. No effort was made to prevent (Stallard's alleged murderer) Gregory Alan Bush from bringing a loaded firearm into the Kroger store," the lawsuit says.

    Kroger officials declined to comment on the lawsuit, but extended their "deepest sympathies to the families affected by this senseless violence." They ignored multiple requests to discuss their open carry policy.

    Gregory Alan Bush, 51, of Louisville, is awaiting trial in Kentucky on state murder charges, pending a judge's competency ruling and also faces trial on federal hate crime and weapons charges.

    On Oct. 24, Bush entered a Louisville-area Kroger, apparently seeking black victims to shoot. Before going to the supermarket, he attempted to enter a predominately African-American church.

    Bush is accused of shooting Stallard, 69, in front of his grandson in the stationary aisle as the two shopped for supplies for the youngster's school project, according to court documents.


    Maurice Stallard

    Outside, Bush allegedly shot another African-American victim, Vickie Lee Jones, 67, in the parking lot as he left the store.

    In the parking lot, Bush encountered two armed bystanders, one (who was African American) exchanged shots with him (no one was injured). The other confronted Bush who said: "I won't shoot you. Whites don't shoot whites" before speeding away in a car, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

    Kroger, like many retailers, has faced pressure from both sides of the gun debate. Last year, it exited the gun business entirely when it stopped selling firearms at its Fred Meyer stores that sell both food and general merchandise.

    But over the years, Kroger has stuck by its deference to state and local laws with regard to open carry.

    Phil Cook, a public policy and economics professor at Duke University, say Kroger and other retailers are faced with a balancing act between customers' conflicting beliefs –including how to best maintain safety.

    "Customers are going to want to feel safe," Cook said.

    While Walmart has been threatened by a walkout by its own employees because it continues to sell guns, the retailer has restricted its gun policies this year to allay customer concerns.

    In July, Walmart dropped gun sales in Utah stores due to a new state law that would have required the retailer to run background checks for customers selling firearms to other buyers. Walmart balked at the prospect of customers bringing their guns into stores for gun for non-Walmart gun sales.

    "Walmart customers do not generally expect to see individuals walking through the store potentially carrying multiple firearms, which can lead to confusion and potentially putting both our customers and associates at risk,” a Walmart spokesperson told a local TV station.

    Mass shootings have struck other retailers

    The Walmart shooting in El Paso is the deadliest mass killing in 2019 (the shooting at a Dayton entertainment district was the third-deadliest), but so far Walmart and other retailers are promising no changes to their gun policies.

    But several retailers across America have been affected by mass shootings, including:

    • Earlier this year, a gunman walked into a SunTrust Bank and killed five people in Sebring, Florida. The suspect in the shooting, Zephen Xaver, 21, had recently moved to Florida to live with his mother and resigned as a corrections officer a few weeks before the incident. A SWAT team was sent to the bank and Xaver eventually surrendered.

    • In 2018, four people were murdered in a Waffle House in Nashville. The suspect in that shooting, Travis Reinking, 30, sprayed bullets from an assault rifle while he was naked except for a green bomber jacket. He was arrested following a 34-hour manhunt.

    • Five were killed in a Burlington, Washington, Macy's shooting in 2016. Arcan Cetin, 20, an immigrant from Turkey and fast food worker, killed five at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington. A year after being arrested, Cetin hanged himself in his cell.

    • Then-Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords became a staunch gun-control advocate after she survived a 2011 shooting at a Safeway supermarket near Tucson that killed six. Jared Loughner, then 22, went to an event for Giffords and shot her and constituents waiting to speak with her. Six died and 13 others, including Giffords, were hurt. Loughner pleaded guilty in 2013 to avoid the death penalty.

    The Enquirer contacted more than a dozen top U.S. retailers this week to ask about their open carry policies, but so far only Walgreens has responded.

    "Our policies are designed to provide a safe environment for our customers and team members," Walgreens said in a statement, noting it prohibits workers from bringing weapons.

    As for customers, Walgreens said: "Our store policies for customers comply with the applicable laws and regulations in each location."

    Walmart, Kroger, Costco, Home Depot, CVS, Target, McDonald's, Starbucks, Chipotle, Wendy's and Yum Brands (the parent company of Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell) did not respond to queries about their open carry or gun policies.

    Only five states prohibit the open carrying of handguns: California, Florida, Illinois, New York and South Carolina. Four generally prohibit long guns: California, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts. The District of Columbia generally prohibits both.


    NRA

    *NRA

    Read *NRA's statement here:




    Gun advocates, such as the National Rifle Association, criticized "politicizing" the latest carnage, pledging to "pursue real solutions that protect us all from people who commit these horrific acts."

    They did not specifically address open carry policies, nor return messages seeking commentary on the subject.

    Laura Cutilletta, a spokeswoman for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence in San Francisco, said most retailers cop-out on their gun policies, seeking to avoid the polarizing debate.

    States and municipalities that don't ban the open carrying of firearms leave it up to property owners to forbid weapons, but most retailers don't exercise that right.

    "It's nonsensical – that's what it means to own property," she said. "Having private property permits the owner to decide what happens on that property."

    ‘This is the new normal’


    Police thwarted at least seven mass shootings and white supremacist attacks since El Paso

    In the two weeks since a gunman killed 22 people in El Paso, law enforcement officials say they have thwarted at least seven separate mass shootings or white supremacist attacks across the US.

    At least four of the alleged foiled plots also appeared to involve men espousing far-right viewpoints and racist ideologies, with echoes of the Texas massacre. The 21-year-old suspect in that shooting, considered the deadliest anti-Latino attack in modern US history, allegedly authored a racist anti-immigrant “manifesto”.

    In online posts and in their alleged planned massacres, the suspects in these recent cases targeted LGBTQ people, Jewish people, black Americans, Latinos and Muslims, according to law enforcement and media reports on the six men. Four of them were white men in their 20s, and all but one of them were believed to be armed, some with extensive weaponry.

    A timeline of foiled plots

    8 August, Nevada

    Five days after the El Paso attack police arrested 23-year-old Conor Climo, saying the Las Vegas man wanted to attack Jews and an LGBTQ bar and was trying to build a bomb. The US attorney’s office said he was “communicating with individuals who identified with a white supremacist extremist organization”. During encrypted conversations online, he would regularly use racist, antisemitic and anti-gay slurs, authorities said.

    Climo was charged with possession of illegal firearms and destructive devices.

    15 August, Connecticut

    One week later, Brandon Wagshol, 22, was taken into custody in Connecticut after he allegedly wrote on Facebook that he was interested in committing a mass shooting, the FBI said. Police had received a tip that he was looking to buy ammunition out of state and had written on social media about building his own rifle with gun parts he had purchased online, authorities said.

    Wagshol was charged on Thursday with illegal possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines, and law enforcement allegedly seized firearms and body armor from his home. The guns were reportedly registered to his father. One news report suggested he had posted racist and anti-transgender comments online.

    16 August, Florida

    In Daytona Beach, Florida, 25-year-old Tristan Scott Wix was arrested on Friday after he allegedly sent violent and threatening text messages to his ex-girlfriend, saying he wanted to commit a mass shooting, according to the local sheriff’s office. His texts, police said, included: “I’d wanna break a world record for longest confirmed kill ever,” and, “A good 100 kills would be nice. I already have a location.”

    Wix told detectives he didn’t own firearms but was fascinated with mass shootings, the sheriff’s department said.

    17 August, Ohio

    The following day, police in New Middletown, Ohio, charged 20-year-old James P Reardon with telecommunications harassment and aggravated menacing, saying he had threatened to commit a shooting at a local Jewish community center. The FBI said he had posted a video on Instagram depicting himself as a shooter, saying he was a “white nationalist”, and tagging the nearby Jewish organization.

    Police recovered assault rifles, ammunition, a gas mask, bulletproof armor and antisemitic propaganda at his home, authorities said. WYTV, an Ohio news station, reported that he had attended the violent white nationalist Charlottesville rally in 2017.

    20 August, Florida, Tennessee and California

    US authorities announced on Tuesday the arrest of Maryland resident Eric Lin, 35, who had allegedly made a series of social media threats against Hispanics in the Miami area. On Facebook, he threatened a Hispanic woman and her family, praised Hitler, and called for the extermination of Spanish-speaking people, Muslims and black Americans, the FBI said.

    He also allegedly wrote, “I Thank God everyday President Donald John Trump is President”, saying he expected Trump to launch a racist war.

    Also on Tuesday, law enforcement announced the arrest of Thomas Matthew McVicker, a 38-year-old truck driver accused of threatening a mass shooting at a Memphis, Tennessee, church. His mother reportedly told the FBI he owned a Ruger P90 handgun, though the motive of his potential attack was unclear.

    Police in Long Beach in southern California also arrested a hotel cook who had allegedly amassed a large cache of powerful firearms and had well-laid plans to carry out a gun rampage throughout the hotel.

    Rodolfo Montoya, 37, was picked up at his home in Huntington Beach in Orange county on Tuesday. Police said the previous day he had confessed to a fellow worker at the Long Beach Marriott that he planned to carry out the attack as revenge against the company.

    Attorneys for the suspects did not immediately respond to inquiries or could not be reached.

    ‘This is the new normal’

    Brian Levin, the director for the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, said there is often a cluster of violent threats and possible copycat attacks after high-profile mass shootings. But he also expected there could be more families and friends reporting their loved ones who may be plotting shootings.

    “This is the new normal,” he said. “The people most able to thwart these attacks are often not law enforcement, but those closest to them – friends, family, co-workers and fellow students … We’re not dealing with foreign-based terrorists, but the mass killer down the block.”

    Before the El Paso massacre, police in Texas said officers were able to intervene and stop a potential mass shooting after a suspect’s grandmother reported him.

    Those kinds of stories could incentivize people to speak up, said Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a professor of education and sociology at the American University.

    “When they see other people who loved these individuals, who were close to them stepping up and doing the right thing, I think that does have the effect of encouraging other bystanders to step up, too,” she said, adding: “It’s disturbing to see them being planned, but it’s reassuring to see them being stopped.”

    Mike German, a former FBI agent and fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice, said he would like to see US law enforcement devote more resources to investigating organized far-right groups, and not just the individual cases: “We have to understand the scope of these threats … The ability of an organized group to do mass violence is much greater.”

    This story was updated on 22 August to include details of the arrest in Long Beach.

    College student studied mass shootings and kept guns in dorm room, police say
    By Sophie Lewis
    August 29, 2019 / 3:27 PM / CBS News


    Police in North Carolina arrested a High Point University student after discovering guns and ammunition in his dorm room just a week into the fall semester. According to prosecutors, 19-year-old freshman Paul Steber had been studying mass shootings for nearly a year and planned to kill his roommate and himself if he didn't get into a fraternity.

    Steber was arrested Tuesday and charged with two felony counts of having a gun on campus and one charge of making threats of mass violence on campus, the High Point Police Department said. His bond was set at $2 million for the first two charges and $1 million for the third charge.

    Steber was in possession of two firearms, a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and a black powder/percussion double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun, police said. Campus security officers learned of the weapons, and university representatives contacted police.

    "This incident illustrates the importance of the public reporting suspicious activity to authorities," police said in a statement. "Information from the public is often the critical first step in preventing acts of mass violence."



    Steber, who is from Boston, appeared in court Wednesday and was ordered held with no bond for up to ten days, during which he will receive a mental health evaluation.

    Steber had been studying videos to learn how to carry out a mass shooting, Assistant District Attorney Lori Wickline said in court, the Associated Press reports.

    "He told officers that he definitely had a plan, something that he had been thinking about since Christmas of last year," she said. "And he had been recently watching videos of the Charleston mass shooting down in South Carolina and other mass shootings so that he could learn what to do and what not to do."

    Steber's father traveled to North Carolina from Massachusetts to attend the court hearing.

    "This is any parent's worst nightmare," defense attorney John Bryson said in court. "He's obviously very concerned about his son."

    Just this week, there have been at least five incidents at schools in separate states where either a threat was made or guns and ammunition were found. In the wake of the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, authorities have been urging people to come forward if they are concerned about someone's suspicious behavior or threats.

    According to data from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, there have been more mass shootings than days so far this year.

    At least 8 dead in West Texas mass shooting


    August 31, 2019 at 4:40 PM CDT - Updated September 1 at 10:00 AM

    ODESSA, Texas (AP/Gray News) — At least eight have died in West Texas, including the shooter, after a man who was stopped by state troopers when his vehicle failed to signal a left turn opened fire and fled, shooting more than 20 people as he drove.

    The suspect was killed by officers outside a movie theater, authorities said Saturday. Three law enforcement officers were among the injured.

    The city of Odessa earlier said that an additional person died at Midland Memorial Hospital, KOSA reported Sunday morning.

    The eight confirmed deaths included three in Midland and five in Odessa, the city of Odessa reported.

    The shooting began with an interstate traffic stop in the heart of Texas oil country where gunfire was exchanged with police, setting off a chaotic afternoon during which the suspect hijacked a mail carrier truck and began firing at random as he drove in the area of Odessa and Midland.

    Gray affiliate KOSA is located in the Music City Mall and were asked to evacuate as they were broadcasting live, reporting on the situation. They are now back on the air.


    Police initially reported that there could be more than one shooter, but Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke later said there was only one.

    "The suspect continued shooting at innocent civilians all over Odessa," a statement from Odessa police said.

    Gerke described the suspect as a white male in his 30s. He did not name him or a motive but said he has some idea who the gunman is.

    The terrifying chain of events began when Texas state troopers tried pulling over a gold car mid-Saturday afternoon on Interstate 20 for failing to signal a left turn, Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said. Before the vehicle came to a complete stop, the driver “pointed a rifle toward the rear window of his car and fired several shots” toward the patrol car stopping him. The gunshots struck one of two troopers inside the patrol car, Cesinger said, after which the gunman fled “and continued shooting innocent people,” including two police officers.

    Gerke said that in addition to the injured officers, there were at least 21 civilian shooting victims. He said at least five people died. He did not say whether the shooter was included among those five dead, and it was not clear whether he was including the five dead among the at least 21 civilian shooting victims.

    Shauna Saxton was one of the terrified drivers who said she was a target of the suspect during his rampage. She was driving with her husband and grandson in Odessa and had paused at a stoplight when they heard loud pops.

    i like this. There are boundaries to protect. Hindi pwede batas para sa magnanakaw.

    Dito sa pinas we should assert our gun license. Pag pinasukan bahay at maganda view eh barilin na agad sa paa to thigh eh ang kaso lang IF EVER serious physical injury. Or kung wala ka maganda view magwarning shots ka. Anong kwenta ng barili kung ipoporma lang pahimas-himas.

    or ganito na lang. Pag nasa loob na ng bahay mo safety na iisipin. Kung pwede na tigokin eh gawin na. Hindi pa ba kayo nagsasawa sa balita "Nilooban na bahay, may-ari patay. Mga killer pinaghahanap- pa."

    Kaya lumalakas loob magnanakaw kasi takot nyo iputok. Isip eh idedemanda kayo halleer!!!. May pang demanda ba magnanakaw?

    Nice move by this homeowner from georgia.

    Homeowner kills 3 masked teens in possible ‘stand your ground’ case, Georgia cops say

    By Jared Gilmour
    September 16, 2019 07:30 PM


    What some call the “castle doctrine” is in the law: If someoneis breaking into your home, you can shoot them, legally, as long as you “reasonably” believe such force is required to stop the “unlawful entry into or attack upon a habitation." By Mike Haskey

    Gunfire that left three masked teenagers dead in Conyers, Georgia, is being investigated as a possible “stand your ground” case, according to local authorities.

    Rockdale County deputies responded to reports of shots fired at a home in the Atlanta suburb shortly after 4 a.m. Monday, according to the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.

    When deputies arrived, they discovered “three males with gunshot wounds and began administering first aid,” the Sheriff’s Office said. Two were hospitalized and died, while the third was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting. Those killed were a pair of brothers, 15 and 16, and another 15-year-old, WSB-TV reported.

    “At this time, it is known that all three males that were shot do not live at the residence and arrived at the residence with their faces covered,” deputies said.

    Deputies said that “the investigation is still in the preliminary stages and the homeowner is currently being questioned as to the details of the shooting.”

    Investigators said “it could possibly be a stand your ground type of case,” according to WSB-TV.

    “It was five shots and then it sounded like a handgun,” neighbor Carlos Watson told WSB-TV. “Then I heard somebody have an assault rifle, and it was a slew of shots that came out.”

    Neighbors described the homeowner as “a truck driver who owns a semi-automatic rifle,” according to WSB-TV.

    Watson said it seemed to be a “home invasion gone bad for the invaders,” according to 11Alive, which reports that the incident could be a “stand your ground” case.

    Neighbor Brian Jenkins described the homeowner as “protective of his mother” in an interview with 11Alive.

    Jenkins told the TV station that after hearing the gunfire he called 911 and noticed “a guy yelling for help, ‘help me, help me, I’m dying. I’m dying. Help me. Help.’”

    Jenkins said he went out to help and found one victim shot near his shoulder, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

    “I told him to just calm down and relax,” Jenkins said, according to the Journal Constitution. “It will be OK, just stop moving.”
