NOT AGAIN!
Just two days after a mass shooting left 10 people dead at a Colorado supermarket, Atlanta police arrested a 22-year-old man who walked into a Publix at Atlantic Station with five guns and body armor.
Police were called to the grocery store on Atlantic Drive just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and met with a manager who told them a man came in with a rifle and headed straight toward a bathroom, authorities said.
“A witness observed the male and alerted store management, who then notified police,” Atlanta police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
People using guns to work through an emotional crisis is a uniquely American predicament.
Of course this isn’t the first time this has happened in this gun saturated country. From before the pandemic in 2019: Man arrested after walking into Missouri Walmart armed with a rifle and wearing body armor
