U.S. Army Pfc. Glendon Oakley Jr. said Saturday he didn't believe it at first when a little kid came running into the sports store where he was shopping and said there was an active shooter at Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas.

Then he walked into Foot Locker and heard gunshots nearby.

"I am in the military and I've got my license to carry, so all I think about is get my gun out and think fast," Oakley said during an interview with KTSM-TV after a gunman killed 20 people and wounded another 26 in the Aug. 3 shooting.

Hmm.  Another black concealed carry holder that acted to save lives.  How can this be in America (sarcasm)?

Side note.  My stance on Russia might need to be reassessed.  This Tweet was obviously a jab.

With a profound grief we learned of the crimes which took place in El Paso, Dayton and Chicago. The Embassy shares the sorrow of those who lost their loved ones and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.

This is an attempt to inflame passions.  I know all about big boy's playing hardball but at this time?  Pretty shady if you ask me.
