According to Police Chief John Barber, shots were fired outside of the Bass Pro Shop. Barber said to his understanding, “this was not an active shooting.”

Not an active shooting??? He must have been white.

According to a witness, shots were fired at the outdoor area and doors were closed in time; so he was unable to get inside. The shooter was tased and did not go down immediately.

“I was on my phone with my wife and I said ‘oh my God he’s right in front of me…He was put down but thankfully not shot. He shot at least fifty times and reloaded.”

This is less than 30 minutes from my home. Sheesh.

Maybe because of guy's eace or perhaps after he was apprehended, (but not murdered).

I saw another headline stating 2 were arrested for this.

Time tp get assault weapons off the streets!

It’s right along I-10, east of Mobile. The first exit after you cross the causeway over Mobile Bay.
