Man.. It's the small details that make this heartbreaking. The abandoned shopping carts still standing where people were when they bolted. The people hiding in the toy-section and behind that shutter. That innocent, confused question if she can bring her purse or not. And most of all the officer taking a few seconds to quickly text his concerned family and loved ones that he's ok.
Diversity is our strength.
Very thoughtful reply...well done
Watching the Date it seems to be a Day before Christmas so luckily nobody was hurt
I wanted to joke about how loud their voices carried as they were discussing their plan but knew this situation was not appropriate for a "joke" it literally can happen to anyone, anytime in any area. The long term affects some will experience and hold on to for a life time... that moment just before anyone dies .. in a threatening manner or not.. is life changing
She wasnt confused..... She wanted her phone so that she could blab on twitter... unreal
For those that do not know this was the result of two guys that got into a fight and ended up drawing guns on each other.
People obviously panicked and began hiding or fleeing. 911 became inundated with calls which always causes a breakdown in police or 911 operators having accurate information.
Shortly after police arrived someone reviewed security footage and was able to relay information to some of the officers outside which helped them to identify the men.
Thanks for the info 🙌🏻💯😎🍻
Were u there?
@@MeandmyLife24 I wasn't, but I looked through numerous articles until I found an updated one from a Sevierville, Tennessee news outlet where it happened.
Did they died?
Thanks for the backstory, usually active shooters don’t go down like that…Watching this really makes me appreciate what these officers do….no the police aren’t perfect but it sure takes nerves of steal to walk down those isles not knowing what could pop out, and pop off on you…..
I've cleared rooms in Iraq and I can tell you. It's freaking nerv wrecking. I can only imagine that it's a nightmare clearing a freaking walmart sized building. So many doors, rooms, freezers and islands that the shooter could be hiding behind. Cross fire, innocent civilians, etc.
I've cleared many a room by pooting.
Yea we used to hid in the clothes as a kid
@@ddsherds50 lmao I forgot I used to do that.
In Afghanistan, every room is an enemy to me so I throw grenades in each room
@@bruhmeme8966 lmao 🤣 frag out!!
This is terrifying, imagine being a child in this situation. Not knowing what to do or where to go.
I'll tell you what's terrifying is adults that don't carry a gun to protect themselves. The only people that follow the rules are the people you don't need to worry about to start with. When bad guys see a, "Gun free zone", sign all they see is, "Free Buffet"!
Mine do. We practice scenarios like this and other potential safety situations.
I agree. That’s why children should stay close to their parents and not wander off on their own.
@@crimsoniron937 boss
Good you are not a child then, though you still think like one:)
That, ladies and gentleman was a professional example of your neighborhood policemen risking their lives for your safety.
Looked more like a bunch of adrenaline fueled killers salivating at the opportunity to use their military surplus equipment in a urban setting. They went in not with the hope that everyone was okay, but with the hope that they would get to use the heavy artillery. Honestly I'm surprised they didn't drive an APC directly into the store and drive up and down the aisles with it.
@@RyanKearney0 big balls on you. You're probably that guy that would curl up in a ball and cry like a little "garden tool" if you were in such an incident.
@@RyanKearney0 i'd be thrilled to gun down such irresponsible citizens that are risking innocent lives
@@RyanKearney0 oh boy we got a cop hating keyboard warrior over here 🤣
@@RyanKearney0 so.. they shouldn't wear safety equipment? or carry firearms capable of penetrating safety equipment? That's essentially your logic.. yet i don't see swat in full gear like you suggest, i didn't even see an armored vehicle. They never used flash bangs while clearing the warehouse either.. In fact they only used gear that most Americans who actually exercise their given rights own.
It broke my heart to see those kids crawl out of their hiding spot.
so many places to hide in a Store like that
It did mine too, but at the same time. It was a brilliant move. Idk if I'd have even thought of that. They always say during an active shooter to run if you can, hide if you cant, and if you cant do either then fight for your life.
That broke me
That was a 20 yr old with a Miley Cyrus haircut
That’s America for you
This highlights something ive been saying for years working for Walmart: Departments and Medical units have NO IDEA how to clear a supercenter. Weve been asking for the oppertunity to help train them for a very long time, but corperate refuses. Every police department in every city with a WalMart should have detailed floorplans and SOPs in place. Blindly going into that kind of situation would be like walking into hell.
I've worked in retail for 20 years and frankly, I was more interested in how the back room was laid out. I laughed when that officer looked down the stockroom and said, 'Aw... Jesus '. But I agree. Don't they have posted layouts throughout the store?
@@glennkonklin2926 They do but the main issue we've found is layouts for the non-customer areas aren't anywhere. Not to mention employees have their go to places, they know where the best hiding places, secure areas, and fast egress points are, but responders have no clue usually. The back room in the video for example, every section of steel and racking back there has the potential for someone to be either hiding there, or waiting in ambush. Large retail spaces are often overlooked for emergency planning. I know some places are proactive with it but in most cases the store has it's protocall, the police has theirs, and very rarely if ever do they actually have a conversation about it. I mean hell, ask any member of management how many employees are on shift and they have no clue. Emergency services asks if everyone is out and all they can do is shrug. Local services NEEDS to train along side these massive retail chains.
They DO know how to clear centers, store maps are useless, you clear every room the same tactics don't change just because its a walmart or a walgreens or any other store. Also they do train in shopping malls often, just depends on the department.
@@glennkonklin2926 for the front areas yes, some stores have the back maps as well for emergency fire or natural disaster evacs for the employees, but those are usually posted in the training or break areas, in the back. I was more eluding to the idea that local emergency services at least walkthrough their local retail stores from time to time, as well as meeting with management. In a situation like the one here, the more information law enforcement has the better the outcome will be.
Being a municipal cop, I completely agree. Essentially all of our active shooter training is tailored to schools/office buildings. Our department has done zero training in super market settings. Completely different layouts physically which generates different responses tactically. Something our department has recognized but failed to implement into the training unfortunately.
I feel the guys pain when he sees the long back hallway "jesus" all the places the shooter could be hiding in is insane.
i would just watch that hallway and wait for the swatt to show up
If only Uvalde had police with this kind of bravery. Hats off to these officers 👏
Uvalde was an insult to police everywhere
exactly my thought while watching this

The poor kids hiding in the baby toys section. Hearing the cops and the lady say "good job". Knowing how to find shelter from a shooter is now a thing kids need to think about now. Heartbreaking.
It's something any competent parent has been teaching children for millennia. Sure, it was spears and javelins that far back, but the concept hasn't changed. It's only in our present, special snowflake mindset that people somehow find it odd to prepare for bad people doing bad things.

That’s crazy. Not only would clearing a Walmart be a nightmare, where this happened is a HUGE tourism area. I can only imagine the chaos that was.
Good job Sevierville PD!
I've been here quite a few times while visiting the area once per year for the last 7 or so years. Never knew this happened and I know how busy this walmart can get on the weekends. This would've been crazy real time!

And "show your receipt or you can't leave."
That would sound about right

LMAO
😭🤣🤣😭
Was not ready to see those children hiding in the shelving... breaks my heart.
Meanwhile children getting literally airstriked in war stricken countries: am I a joke to you
@@no-re2jy ok and? Does that mean we shouldn’t feel bad for the children that isn’t getting airstrike.
I was *stunned* to see those kids there. I mean, I give them *ABSOLUTE* props for hiding, but at the same time, I couldn't help but wonder why Mom or Dad didn't run out of the store with them. 😧
@@iiiisssssaaaaaacccccc no
Hell they were probably behind them toilet paper playing doctor you have to remember these are American Kids
I could feel the cops desperation when they got to the product storge area and seeing all the blind spots and hiding spots
The worst part about clearing a building like Walmart is the size. There's so many different places that a shooter could hide. The back room itself is a maze. Everything you see as a customer there's a whole back area behind it stacked wall to wall with freight easy to hide behind.
The long corridor they came across in the back scared the hell out of me. There were so many hiding spots in there. 😱
Would not be stocked like that if wal mart was not cheat there coustomers they let self go bare till everybody panic then see d it out of back room at double the cost and that's how walmart keeps raise its prices
Imagine clearing a Costco
This was very hectic. Having to clear a building the size of a Walmart supercenter with only a small number of officers had to be extremely stressful. It was nice to see the protection and extraction of the trapped shoppers and employees caught on film. Unreal how much chaos was created by two violent idiots that couldn't wait to resort to their guns to solve what was undoubtedly a ridiculously stupid minor altercation. The real tragedy is that the courts are probably going to just slap their wrists and they won't learn a god damned thing from this. I predict that they will be free, illegally re-arming themselves, and committing more felonies in no time.

@@nestorvilla3605 How I wished I lived in the fantasy land yall live in. It would be so simple if the whole problem was "liberals bad."
This was a Wal mart in Tennessee, hate to tell you boys but this is Republucan heaven.
At first I thought nothing was wrong and was a prank call, then you notice no customers and shopping carts scattered. Then they find the people hiding. Glad no one was hurt tho.
I think the single Walmart checker called it in so she could go on break.
Props to the store staff behind the roller door. That's how you comply with police and make their job much easier. They were not the threat but still had all their hands up standing single file awaiting police instruction 👍
Agree with you 100% I like how the first guy with his hands up said 'there's 5 of us' ... I'm just a little disappointed at the woman who asked if she could go back and grab her purse tho ... but we're talking about a woman here so I let it slide.
I've been inside of empty walmarts before for remodels and power outages, but never did an empty walmart feel so terrifying knowing a man trying to kill someone is playing hide and seek with you.
A few minors but the fellas did a hell of a job workin this place, a lot to move through and clear. Great job guys!!
Definitely. A Wm supercenter can take a mile to walk all the way around
Thanks god nobody’s got hurt. Great job police officers. Thank you for service.

Well done Officers.
Amen
Kudos to all first responders there. Also to the child and teen who hid, fantastic job!
RUN, HIDE, FIGHT
Great job officers! You kept your cool, CAUGHT the bad guys and no innocent people were harmed.
Great job guys!! My wife and I come through there alot and I'm glad that you all are risking your lives everyday protecting us. Prayers for your safety!
@Blake It in My prayers go out to you as well.
@Blake It in they do with Him and His Word what they want, otherwise they would not have crucified the Messiah.

My wife was 30 feet away from a shooting at a Walmart.
A deputy and several security were hit.
She quickly moved about 30 people to safety.
Perp caught several hours later after pursuit.
Good job officers! They don't get enough credit for all the stress they have to deal with. Way to keep the order and the people safe.
Thats there job? And there paid well for it with benefits.
@@johnandrews389 yes it's there job to keep you and me safe, to keep order by the law, to help protect, comfort people, etc, etc, etc...of course they do NOT get paid enough for risking there lives and leaving behind there family for some of the stupidity that people do! Just recently a 21 year old drunk driver killed 2 state troopers while the state troopers where helping a civilian get out of the highway. This 21 year old drunk driver had written in her twitter account that "she drives best when she is drunk" what! That's the stupidity that police officer have to deal with!
It is stressful,I had to clear buildings,homes,apts in Iraq,it's no fun.
@@aibonitoguerrero Maybe we could just have them increase the taxes on things so they can get a bigger pay, and maybe by law we are all required to lick their boots and suck their toes.
@@johnandrews389 What planet you livin on? Paid well lol. You learn that from a fortune cookie?
And when you think police are irrelevant, think twice. Breve men and women in uniform to "Protect and Serve"
Not all cops are good and not all cops are bad. This is not a controversial idea
Exactly,the bravery of cops in uvalde tx school shooting shows just how brave these guys are when its a false flag attack. Just allowing the guy to enter while armed cops just watched is beyond heroic. I stand by the thin blue line
Clearly, the police were trying to be brave here, but you might try picking an example where the cops actually mattered. And cops don't actually have the job of defending people. They have the job of catching bad guys when it's reasonably safe and convenient for them. The only person whose job is to defend you is you.
breve
Yup those uvalde police sure did "protect and serve".
My husband said they didn't do this in MOUT training. Too much concealment, too little cover . These cops have steel in their pants. Great job 👍
Seeing all of the abandoned shopping carts just breaks my heart. I can't even imagine how calm it was in the store, families shopping for their food and all of a sudden a man starts shooting. How terrified the child must have been, or the parents must have been for their children.
@@WD-ih7vg oh, well. the tittle says active shooter so I assumed that before the officers got there that the person was shooting. Even if there was no shots fired it's still terriffiying to know that you have to run because you might get shot.
Good to see cops wearing helmets, using rifles with variable power optics, & moving & communicating as a team.
These guys look well trained & equipped. It's encouraging to see that for a change
This is more normal than what you normally see posted on the news. Millions of interactions between law biding citizens and criminals alike. The amount of time something goes wrong is almost never in the grand scheme. But the media wouldnt want you to know that.
The news stations love to use the word active shooter! Even after finding out there was not an active shooter🤣🤣🤣
One thing I can't stand is when adults that have there kids or someone else's kids mixed up in their bad decisions.
what do you mean by this? the kids were in walmart and hid from an active shooter...
@@pro_moderngamer4943 he meant like he hates how people will start drama, fights, etc when there is kids around. (He doesn't want people creating situations that put probably anyone, but specifically children in danger)
I have read this 5 times and I have no idea what it said.
@@pro_moderngamer4943 not in Walmart in the van.
@@Marz-px6vx but it wasn’t even an active shooter? They really didn’t get their kids involved in anything, a Karen made a false police report that there was an active shooter with no shots fired and no weapon brandished
It amazes me how easily some people will throw their lives and freedom away??? 🤔
Wtf does that mean? What freedom?
@@greenmonkey7305 the freedom you have to do what you want with out being told to do it. Your a clown acting like we aren’t free.. go to prison and see if you still cry that we ain’t free 💩.
@@greenmonkey7305 .. you don't think we have freedom?
Should be mandatory for every young adult to join military and see the world. They will then learn what we have here. Just a bunch a of spoiled brats that have everything available to them because of what our hard working great grandparents and grandparents paved the way for us as well as fought off Japanese, Germans so that we would be free. Now these ignorant fools are voting for these socialist politicians not knowing they're voting away they're freedoms. And when it's all said and done, they will wonder what happened. Already starting to see politicians doing like they are in Rushia, canceling people who don't have same view, blocking Facebook, Twitter, calling parents terrorists who disagree, etc.....

Major credit to how efficiently Walmart management and employees handle these & other emergency situations. I worked there in the past, and it really is a result of strict training policies.
Wow, great work
That is a nightmare to search with that few officers.
OMG! Even after reading that there wasn't an active shooter in the description my anxiety levels were through the roof watching these amazing officers deal with this! ! ! I can't even begin to imagine what it's like in their minds!! Absolutely beautiful work by extremely amazing people! Yall are appreciated more than you know! My thoughts and prayers are with our heroes in blue! ! #backtheblue 💙 💙 💙 #backthebadge 💙 💙 💙
You were right to be anxious, all the initial reports were "shooter in building". It wasn't until someone accessed the video surveillance room and rolled back the tapes that they learned it was a case of brandishing weapons that started a panic. If you ask me, I think the title of this video is a bit misleading and has encouraged a lot of ignorant comments against the police's actions here.
How can you have an active shooter when no shots were fired?
Because someone reported it as an active shooter.
It was active when they reported maybe not after though
@@somerandomkid8414 no it wasnt, noone shot a single shot at all. hence not active shooter. more than likely somone saw this guy concealed carrying
@@auschris9296
We're you there before the officer got the call or before he turned on his body camera.
Probably not so how can you state there was no active shooter.
Active shooter is someone who is shooting at that moment.
Not shooting until cops show up and shoot them.
They are there to do the shooting then leave.
@@rickjones2534 not that day. A month before. A year before or before the store was ever even buit
the officer texting his family really hit this is so sad
I can’t imagine being in inside when this happened going from shopping to running for your life
For all those "Defund Police" followers, how would you have felt if you were in a building that had an active shooter? Who ya gonna call, Ghostbusters?
Good work officers 👏
Dude behind the bodycam is a good leader. Clear concise orders creates calmness. Calmness allows good thinking.
Glad to hear that nobody was harmed in this incident.
Is that dude arrested the one that walked by the officers at the begining? Looks like same clothes
But Walmart has a no weapons policy. Them darn criminals didn’t listen to the policy! FIGURES
I'm almost a 20 yr employee. Someone has given you wrong info.
@@donaldwoodward6899 Have you not seen the sign outside your store on the door that says no guns and knives. Yet you can buy both those things in most Walmarts
@@BIGWHIT76 guns are allowed in Walmart. Just have to be concealed
@@BIGWHIT76 next time read the sign. Asks that you not open carry, not that youu don't carry at all. I'm in a state where carry concealed doesn't need a permit.
Couldn't help but notice the sense of relief coming from those kids when they came out of their hiding place to the police officer. That was an ingenious place to hide!
Imagine if the cops in Uvalde acted this fast (or acted at all, for that matter)
Again. Let's show our officers some respect and thank them for their service!
None of the people in handcuffs matched the description of the suspect
I agree with what your saying.
they are in Walmart.
easy to change clothes and try to blend in.
Maybe someone brave was following them around the store.
seen them go out with civilians.
I'm not positive just a thought.
I read a report that said a member of the walmart loss prevention team reviewed security footage and relayed the two mens description to officers.
Close enough. They’d have ended up in jail later anyways.😏
Kudos to you for providing an excellent explanation surrounding this incident and the CC.
Just saw this and I'm so pleased to see these tactics and teamwork.
Those poor kids, I couldn't emagin the terror they experienced.
People, headlines and titles can be misleading, especially on RUclips. It's always good to read the description section of the video in play or follow more leads to the story before making self righteous and judgmental comments.
Thank you!
Frickin supermarket is a tactical nightmare
You couldn't pay me enough. The guy could be literally anywhere and could have shot at any second. Cops need a raise, they should make what politicians make and politicians should be paid cop wages.
Really? Some of the worst oat breaking cops get paid over $100,000.00 a year. Why would anyone that whines about "officer safety" over their oath to protect the citizens deserve to be paid more than oath keepers? Watch some 1st Amendment Auditors and you'll get your eyes opened to the reality of the situation.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Great job by the Sevierville PD.
Bothers me so much to watch videos of bad cops, when there are good guys like this doing the same job. It's crazy to think that walking down the grocery aisle at Wal-Mart, might prevent you from ever seeing your family again. These guys are amazing.
❤
don't watch fake news. bad cops are a very small percentage, despite what fake news and the demonrats say.
It's amazing that they don't have access to the video system in the shop.
Every inch of that shop is monitored with cameras, but technology is only useful if you use it.
Well unless the recording equipment and monitors that have the recording on them is outside of the building you still have to clear the building before you can look at a video don't cha think?
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 what I think is that in this modern age the security system in the shop would be wired into the systems that the 911 operators use, so that they can look at what is happening.
@@matthewbaynham6286 That sure is giving a lot of undue credit to the amount of room that's available on the Internet to actually monitor all these stores and businesses during a time of crisis or crime when companys like ADT doesn't even have that capability.(Yet)

Frightening times. 💔
Glad that cops are ok.
These heroes went right into the Walmart to confront the shooter. NOT LIKE THE COWARDS IN TEXAS
Most officers would, the hand sitters in Uvalde deserve a jail cell.
Thx 4 sharing
Excellent command and control by that officer. Straight into it, no mucking about... no cowards here. These officers should be commended.
That was intense 😳
So proud of the officers!!
Kids hiding in a supermarket is heartbreaking. America is absolutely wild 🤯
Clearing a Walmart must be a nightmare.
I had to clear a small weed farm in the middle of the night with no backup after receiving a couple shots in my direction. 1000 places to hide and be ambushed. One of only a few times I've felt strong fear, all of my instincts were saying this is FUBAR, just get back inside and lay low. Fought through the nerves and made sure the area was safe though. Clearing large areas compared to single small rooms is a beast of its own.
Communicating is the key for not getting hurt. Also training exercise for new officers.
you gotta admire how well these officers performed.
This is where I live, so proud of this response. One of the busiest Walmarts due to it being a huge tourist town.
I remember we had a shooting in our Walmart in Lakewood Colorado and Chris is so scary thank u to cops for this
You got videos
They were responding to a call where someone overheard someone else say, " man, I'm about to blow up this bathroom". IT turned out the guy meant something completely different ..
yeah, lmfao. I've said my fair share of that and the looks when a cop is next to you, and they realize you don't mean a bomb is absolutely hilarious😭
What about are purses “ Can it wait “ I’m dying 🤣
@3:55 Oh Jesus. I remember clearing rooms in the military. It’s highly stressful
Thanks cop's God bless Walmart co-workers and shopping and cops
Awesome guys great work proud of you all police officers,!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why would they still be at the store by the time the cops arrived
What a professional way to clear a building.
My God these guys are brave.
I lived in Knoxville for 28 years. That part of the country is one of the most dangerious places to live according to crime buddy and other sources!
I live in Southern middle Tennessee and was visiting wen this happened. We left our cabin to go to Walmart, but got sidetracked and made an unplanned stop as this was happening.
At least these cops didn't kill an innocent civilian hiding in a mall that cops responded to someone acting out.I believe the girl was 14/15 yrs old.

@@powerbad696 Dude, they shot at the suspect and the teenage girl was hiding in a dressing room where they had absolutely no way to see her. It was tragic as hell, but in no way was that the fault of the officers. You must know nothing about critical incidents if you blame the police for that girl's death. 100% of it goes to the suspect that caused them to respond. Now, if she was in plain sight and got shot as they were firing at the suspect, that's different because they can clearly see the backstop, but even then it's a tragic event that was initiated by the police.
God, I'd love to see what your response to a deadly threat would be. Curl up in a ball and die like a coward? That's my guess
Seeing the kids hiding, was surreal.
I have cleared places like this befor and it really sucks. You do the best you can.
Seemed a bit intense. But I guess you don't really know what to expect from an active shooter call at a place like Walmart. So many corners and places to hide. I admire these officers a very scary situation. But I would like to know where their k-9 units were. I feel like that would have helped alot
That is true. However, the basic truth about being a first responder is that you must deal with the situation you are given, and do it in the blink of an eye. You cannot pause to think about your own life, about your family, your pay grade. You just do it and hope that when it’s all over the good people are still alive.
Call Of Duty Walmart
Walking in there and seeing no one.. and the half full carts just sitting around.. just seems apocalyptic, just terrible.
The music playing while all those carts were abandoned, active search & clear happening,.... its just surreal
That was some great police work! Keep up the good work!👍
The police did a great job 👏 👍
Brave men and women , always at the ready . Using a kind voice for the innocent.
Interesting how the one they have in custody doesn't match the description they broadcasted
