From Shoplifting to Attempted Murder: Inside the Walmart Incident That Nearly Turned Fatal

What began as a routine shoplifting stop at a Walmart in Canton, Ohio nearly turned deadly.

In this episode of Tier Talk, Anthony Gangi and Russ Hamilton break down the December 18, 2025 Walmart incident, where a suspected shoplifter allegedly pulled a firearm and attempted to shoot a responding police officer inside the store’s loss-prevention office. The gun malfunctioned, and a Walmart asset-protection employee intervened—preventing what could have become a fatal shooting.

We walk through the verified timeline, the charges filed, and the split-second decisions made by officers and store employees. The discussion also examines Walmart’s shoplifting and loss-prevention policies, the risks of confined detentions, and how quickly “routine” retail encounters can escalate into life-or-death situations.

This is a fact-driven, non-speculative discussion focused on policy, public safety, and accountability, not blame—designed to help viewers understand how thin the line can be between routine enforcement and tragedy.
