The 20-year-old man who sparked an active-shooter panic at a Missouri Walmart told police he wanted to see if the company 'honored the 2nd Amendment,' police said in court documents.
Andreychenko walked into the Springfield Walmart store with the AR-style rifle slung across his chest and a handgun on his hip and was filming himself with a cell phone, according to court documents. He told police he was recording video in case someone tried to stop him, the documents said.
"This is Missouri, I understand if we were somewhere else like New York or California, people would freak out," he told police, according to the affidavit. He also allegedly said he bought the rifle and body armor to protect himself after recent mass shootings. Andreychenko left the store through an emergency exit and was detained at gunpoint by a man who authorities described as a former firefighter.that he approached Andreychenko outside and asked if he was the man with the rifle. When Andreychenko replied he was, the former firefighter pulled his gun and ordered Andreychenko to put his hands in the air.
