Funeral services were pending Sunday for the 47-year-old Robertson County man who
was killed with his own gun after allegedly pulling the weapon on a Walmart
employee.

A scuffle began when the store's loss prevention officer confronted Bradshaw,
authorities said, and several other employees joined the effort to detain Bradshaw
in an office.

While in the room, Bradshaw pulled a gun from his pocket and fired a round into a
cabinet, officials said.

Police said the officer gained control of the gun, but Bradshaw pulled a knife and
started toward the officer, who shot Bradshaw in the chest.

Attempts to reach the family were unsuccessful.

1. Paging Dr. Darwin...

Sorry, but come on. How inept can you get?!?

2. Sounds like a case of justifiable homicide.

Even better that he was shot and killed with his gun, which was probably illegal for him to possess.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

3. murder 101

Kill the guy first THEN drop the gun... actually keeping the gun till you escape is part of the lesson plan, but c'mon.. These are Walmart shoppers.

4. Sounds kind of like suicide by mallcop.

If you're going to pull a knife on a guy with a gun, you're either a moron or you're looking to die.

5. yeah but..

Who wants to face other inmates after getting caught shoplifting at Walmart of all places?

6. Yeah, there is that

Here's how it would go"
Dude, you got caught by a Walmart mall cop?

Yeah, I did

Dude, you are such a fucking whimp, now, bend over.

8. By the same token though, if you're shoplifting from Walmart...

...and desperate enough to threaten to kill somebody who's trying to stop you, I think you don't have much to live for.

10. You know St. Peter is going to be chuckling when he shows up.
