HEY. HEY. >> AN ALLEGED shoplifting incident at a Walmart in Ohio escalated into a near fatal confrontation after a suspect pulled a gun on a police officer. Authorities say the incident unfolded inside a Walmart store in Ohio where 21-year-old Shane Newman was being held in a loss prevention office. Surveillance video shows Newman chewing on a glove and turning away from the camera before suddenly turning back with a handgun in his hand. Investigators say Newman aimed the weapon at an officer just outside the frame. Audio from the video appears to capture the sound of a trigger being pulled, though the gun did not fire. In that moment, a store loss prevention employee lunged at Newman, knocking the gun out of his hands. Seconds later, an officer rushed in and restrained Newman using a knee strike to subdue him. Newman was taken into custody along with 23-year-old Katarina Jeffrey, who police say was charged with complicity in the robbery. According to 19 News, Newman now faces multiple felony charges, including attempted murder, felonious assault on a police officer, robbery, drug possession, and having a weapon while under disability. Officials say the quick actions of store staff and responding officers likely prevented a deadly outcome. The case remains under investigation.
