Two customers pointed him in the right direction, but by then, the suspect had already ditched his orange shirt in one of the aisles, hoping to blend into the crowded store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotting the suspect running toward the front of the store, Officer Brinkley gave chase. Despite multiple commands to stop, the suspect kept running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things escalated further when the suspect, now outside, reached into his waistband and turned the corner of the store. He forced his way into a minivan in the pharmacy drive-thru, trying to carjack an innocent woman at gunpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bodycam footage shows the suspect struggling to get the minivan moving, using one hand to press the gas pedal and the other to fumble with the gear shifter. Officer Brinkley quickly moved in and, seeing the danger to the woman, discharged his firearm through the windshield of the van, hitting the suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-springfield-armory-echelon-4-5f-comp\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfield-armory-echelon-4-5f-comp\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"officer-shoots-armed-carjacking-suspect-after-walmart-chase\" title=\"Officer Shoots Armed Carjacking Suspect After Walmart Chase\">Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F Comp<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman was able to escape unharmed, and Officer Brinkley held the suspect at gunpoint until backup arrived. Officers removed the suspect from the vehicle, arrested him, and provided medical attention for his non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two weapons were recovered: one was a realistic-looking replica in the suspect\u2019s pocket, and the other, a real handgun, was found on the floorboard of the van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspect was identified as 37-year-old Randall Allen. He was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital and now faces a long list of charges, including first-degree robbery, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, wanton endangerment, unlawful imprisonment, and drug-related offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Officer Brinkley&#8217;s swift action, the situation was brought under control without any injuries to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<em>H\/T: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tBFurlOsaBI\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"officer-shoots-armed-carjacking-suspect-after-walmart-chase\" title=\"Officer Shoots Armed Carjacking Suspect After Walmart Chase\">Police Activity<\/a><\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"officer-shoots-armed-carjacking-suspect-after-walmart-chase\" title=\"Officer Shoots Armed Carjacking Suspect After Walmart Chase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officer Brinkley responded quickly, heading to the last known location of the fleeing suspect, who had run toward the nearby Walmart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":207706,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4024],"tags":[132,291,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-207703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-buzz","9":"tag-dgu","10":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Officer Shoots Armed Carjacking Suspect After Walmart Chase<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read about the intense carjacking suspect chase at a busy Walmart in Louisville, KY.
