Police have identified the suspect who opened fire at a Walmart store in Amarillo this afternoon as a Somali Muslim man named Mohammad Moghaddam, age 54.
Amarillo police say the armed man took two people hostage inside a local Wal-Mart. He was a store employee who reportedly had a “work-related dispute” with the manager and there are no known ties to terrorism.
Just a coinkydink. According to Wikipedia, Islam is the religion of 99.8% in Somalia.
Police Sgt. Brent Barbee says the suspect took his manager and another person hostage over a dispute “related to a promotion.”
officers responded to the incident around 11 a.m. and soon after a SWAT team entered the area of the store where the hostages were located shot Moghaddam dead.
Moghaddam was armed with a handgun.
