POLICE.
MIGUEL MARQUEZ HAS OUR 
"OUTFRONT" INVESTIGATION.
>> OH!
JESUS CHRIST.
MAN DOWN.
>> Reporter: DID THIS EVER NEED 
TO HAPPEN?
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> Reporter: NEW VIDEO SHOWS A 
WALMART LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER 
TELLING MARANO POLICE OFFICERS 
ON THE SCENE THE GUN THIS MAN 
JUST STOLEN HAD A SAFETY LOCK ON
IT AND IT COULDN'T BE FIRED.
>> IT'S LOCKED.
HE CAN'T GET THE LOCK OFF.
>> ARE YOU SURE?
>> I'M POSITIVE.
IT'S LOCKED!
>> TEN SECONDS LATER.
[ GUNSHOT ]
OKAY, NEVER MIND.
>> THE WALMART LOSS PREVENTION 
OFFICER WEARING SHORTS AND 
SANDALS LISTENING TO THE RADIO 
HAS HIS YOUNG SON ALONG FOR THE 
RIDE.
POLICE FINALLY YELL AT THE 
EMPLOYEE, BACK OFF.
>> WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
[ BLEEP ] YOU DON'T HAVE A GUN 
OR A VEST ON.
>> MINUTES LATER, MARIO VALENCIA
IS HANDED A RIFLE BY A WALMART 
CLERK WHO TOLD POLICE MARIO 
SEEMED NORMAL.
HE INSPECTED THE RIFLE.
HE THEN TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO 
AMMUNITION, SAYING, DON'T DO 
ANYTHING STUPID, GIVE ME THE 
AMMO.
SHE RESISTS, BUT THEN EVENTUALLY
HANDED OVER THE AM KNOW, BECAUSE
HE WAS THREATENING TO BREAK THE 
GLASS.
AND SHE ALSO TOLD POLICE THAT 
IT'S WALMART POLICY TO GIVE OVER
ITEMS DURING A ROBBERY.
SHE SAID SHE ACTED APPROPRIATE, 
EVEN ALERTING SECURITY TO CALL 
POLICE BEFORE HANDING OVER THE 
AMMO BY DIALING A CODE.
ONE 911 CALL MAY BES CLEAR THE 
GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.
A WALMART ASSET PROTECTION 
OPERATOR TELLS THE OPERATOR, 
VALENCIA WAS TRYING TO LOAD THE 
RIFLE IN THE STORE.
>> WE HAVE AN ARMED CUSTOMER IN 
THE SPORTING GOODS DEPARTMENT.
>> OKAY, IS HE THREATENING 
ANYONE?
>> I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT.
HE'S LOADING THE WEAPON IN THE 
SPORTING GOODS DEPARTMENT AT THE
MOMENT.
>> HE IS LOADING IT?
>> Reporter: A PHOTO OF THE 
RIFLE STOLEN BY VALENCIA SHOWS 
THE CABLE LOCK STILL ON, WRAPPED
THROUGH THE LEVER ONCE WITH 
ENOUGH SLACK THAT THE LEVER 
COULD STILL BE OPERATED.
POLICE SAY THE LOCK APPEARED TO 
BE A HANDGUN CABLE LOCK.
A WALMART SPOKESPERSON INSISTS 
THE GUN HAD THE PROPER LOCK 
CORRECTLY INSTALLED IN THE STORE
AND EITHER VALENCIA DID 
SOMETHING TO IT OR THE FORCE OF 
THE PATROL CAR HITTING HIM 
AFFECTED THE CABLE LOCK.
THE WALMART LOSS PREVENTION 
OFFICER AND HIS SON WERE WITNESS
TO VALENCIA BEING TAKEN DOWN BY 
THE PATROL CAR.
>> OH,.
THAT GUY GOT [ BLEEP ]ED UP.
>> WALMART SAYS IT CONSTANTLY 
REVIEWS ALL ITS POLICIES AND 
PROCEDURES AND THIS INCIDENCE IN
M
MARANA IS BEING DISCUSSED RIGHT 
NOW.
WALMART INSISTS IT HAD THE RIGHT
SAFETY DEVICE ON THAT GUN AND IT
WAS INSTALLED PROPER WHEN 
VALENCIA IS IN THE STORE.
THIS IS A BLOW-UP OF THAT GUN.
YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE LEVER.
IF THIS BIT STAYS CLOSE TO THE 
BUTT, IT DOESN'T FIRE AND IT 
DISABLES THE GUN.
BUT EVERYONE WE TALKED TO TODAY,
WE DID A LOT OF R
