COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - An 18-year-old man was arrested early Saturday after police say he fired shots inside a central Missouri Walmart.
The shooting happened late Friday night after an employee confronted a man, later identified by police as Jamie Anton Jackson, who was in a restricted area of the store, the Missourian reported. The employee told police he man had a gun and extended ammunition magazine and that a struggle ensued. The employee said he was able to take the magazine away from the man, but not the gun.
