During the officer's investigation, witnesses said Walters entered the store carrying a semi automatic pistol in a holster.
According to witnesses, Walters continually "messed" with the gun while it was in the holster. He would reportedly holster and un-holster the gun, which made the other customers and employees nervous.
As Walters stood at the electronics counter talking to the clerk, he pulled the gun out of the holster and thumbed through some nearby magazines, Peoples said.
The clerk said she was afraid that she was about to be robbed. She notified the store manager of the situation after Walters left the counter.
Walters reportedly approached the checkout lane and while standing at the end of the counter, he pulled the gun out of his holster again.
When he pulled the gun out of the holster, a magazine dislodged and fell on the floor.
Peoples said Walters picked up the magazine, placed it back into the gun, manipulating the gun as if loading the weapon.
While he was doing this the gun discharged and sent shots into the ceiling.
Some people may feel a little self-conscious when carrying for the first time, but I'm surprised this guy didn't shoot himself or anyone else.
