“It was an interesting day here at the GameStop,” said Gamestop employee David Roman.  Not interesting due to trades or sales, but due to the fact an angry customer threatened to kill someone.  A 43 year old customer tried to return an Xbox console without a receipt and was declined by the Gamestop employees.

The 43 year became irate after the employee’s declined the return and then threatened to kill someone.  This is just a big NO-NO!  One thing people won’t take lightly is when you threaten lives.  The employees called the police who didn’t hesitate and were in “active shooter response” mode.  This means not one, but a team of officers are sent to stop the threat.

When Police arrived they had employees and customers wait in the backroom as they threw the man against the counter and arrested him.  Police searched his bag in which they found a stun gun.  Stun guns happen to be illegal in Michigan.  Police said, “He said he needed it for protection.” I would like to call BS on that one.

The 43 year old man is being held in Police custody and could very well face charges for possession of a stun gun and disorderly conduct.  Thankfully no one was hurt.
