Yup.

A SWAT team shot and apparently killed a suspect who took hostages at a Walmart in Amarillo, Texas Tuesday afternoon, police announced, adding that all hostages were safe.

Nearly an hour after city officials reported an "active shooter incident," police said they had entered the Walmart and there was no "ongoing" shooting.

"We do consider this a work-place violence situation at this point," the Randall County Sheriff's Office told Fox News. One store employee told KFDA the gunman earlier released a worker and the store manager but was still inside the Walmart.

Witnesses told KVII an employee took another employee hostage.

"The first rumor is seldom true"

Amarillo PD has an excellent Twitter/Nixle feed. As do most large law enforcement agencies. You could get the info many minutes before news outlets without the spectacular video of traffic jams, staged emergency vehicles and a slowly circling helicopter-and news personality spin. The best thing about FB posts are the hyper intelligent if not interesting comments.
