An off-duty police officer in Del City, Oklahoma, opened fire on a Walmart customer who allegedly shoplifted.
Newser reports the Langston University cop struggled with the suspect, who appeared to have stolen a BBQ grill.
As the suspect began to back up his vehicle, the officer drew his firearm and shot off at least eleven rounds.
The shoplifting suspect was said to be hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and is in stable condition.
Police say the suspect had a receipt for purchased items but also took things without paying. The district attorney will consider whether to charge the officer.
