"Crawford III stops in the sporting goods section and picks up an unboxed Crosman MK-177, a pellet gun that’s designed to look like a real assault rifle. Then he wanders into the pet section carrying the pellet gun, still on his cell. (The Beavercreek Walmart also sells real assault rifles.)"
But one person in the store was concerned. At about 8:21 p.m., Ronald Ritchie, who is 24 and white, called 911. On recordings released by the Beavercreek Police, he tells the 911 dispatcher a man is “walking around with a gun in the store...like, pointing it at people.” As police begin to mobilize, Ritchie tells the dispatcher that the man, whom he describes as black and about 6 feet tall, with an “Afro,” is “like loading [the gun] right now” and “waving it back and forth.” Four minutes into the call, Ritchie says, “He just pointed it at, like, two children.”
WTF
