A man who caused panic at a Missouri Walmart by openly carrying two loaded guns and wearing body armor in the store says he was just testing his Second Amendment right to bear arms.
In this undated booking photo provided by the Greene County, Missouri, Sheriff's Office shows 20-year-old Dmitriy Andreychenko. Five days after 22 people were killed at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, panicked shoppers fled a Walmart in Springfield, Missouri, after Andreychenko, carrying a rifle and wearing body armor walked around the store before being stopped by an off-duty firefighter. Police on Friday identified the man as Andreychenko, who lived in the Springfield area. .
No shots were fired and Andreychenko was arrested after he was stopped by an armed off-duty firefighter at the store. Andreychenko started to record himself with his phone while he was still in the car parked at Walmart. He got the body armor from the trunk of his car and put it on before grabbing a shopping cart and walking into the store, according to the statement.
His wife, Angelice Andreychenko, told investigators that she warned him it was not a good idea, adding that he was an immature boy. Walmart issued a statement Friday that praised authorities for stopping the incident from escalating. It said Andreychenko is no longer welcome in its stores.
