The officer’s bulletproof vest likely saved his life, and he is expected to be okay, reported FOX13. The officer was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Desoto.
Southaven, Mississippi, is the third-largest city in the state.
News of the Walmart shooting comes less than two days after a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in northern California on Sunday night, killing three people and injuring 12.
