Walmart is removing displays of violent video games and movies, but hasn't announced any change in its gun sales policy since the El Paso shooting.
The first funeral in El Paso for a victim of the shooting that killed 22 at a Walmart in the border city was held Friday morning.“Walmart will now become a target for activists,” said Ron Culp, an expert on crisis management and former head of public relations at Sears, who now teaches at DePaul University. “Pressure will continue to build, so I’d get out in front with some sort of position that goes beyond video games in the store. They have to display leadership on this issue.
• Cancel any in-store events promoting “combat style or third-person shooter games that may be scheduled.”• Turn off any hunting-season videos that may be playing in the sporting goods department, and remove any monitors that show the videos. Nick Chester, a spokesman for Epic Games, the maker of the popular third-person shooter game “Fortnite,” declined to comment.
Michael Bloomberg, owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News, founded and helps fund Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that advocates for universal background checks and other gun violence prevention measures.
