Walmart has removed about 1,000 third-party items from its website in the wake of two mass shootings after determining the products violate company policy
The retail giant regularly reviews its 75 million online offerings, looking for items that violate its ban on merchandise that glorifies violence, the company said. A recent review focused on gun-related items after 31 people were killed in mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, earlier this month. The products were removed over the last week, the spokesperson said.

The Dayton shooter was killed by police within 30 seconds of opening fire.Read MoreThe 21-year-old suspect in the El Paso shooting surrendered to police on the day of the attack.
