Walmart Gun Shocker: Suspect Pulls Trigger on Officer

An incident initially believed to be shoplifting at a Walmart store escalated into an attempted murder charge when a 21-year-old man produced a firearm and aimed it at a police officer. The confrontation, captured on surveillance footage, showed Shane Newman appearing nervous before pulling a gun. Fortunately, the weapon malfunctioned when he pulled the trigger.

Store security swiftly intervened, tackling Newman and disarming him. The officer then moved in, subduing the suspect. Newman was apprehended with Katerina Jeffrey, who was charged with complicity to commit robbery. Newman, previously convicted of a felony, was prohibited from possessing firearms.
