Walmart.  Save money.  Die faster.

UPDATE (7/13/14):   More details have been released.  According to an article:
According to radio traffic, store officials were following 26-year-old Cordell Lee Tebe of Konawa when he left the beer in the store and walked out. An Ada police detective was at the store and heard the call go out over the radio. The detective joined store loss prevention officers while they attempted to arrest Tebe for the Thursday theft.

Tebe ran away toward a pickup with three alleged accomplices waiting inside. Police said Tebe jumped in the passenger side of the pickup and told the driver to take off. When she refused, Tebe pushed her out of the pickup and took control of the vehicle.

The detective and an off-duty Roff reserve officer drew their handguns on Tebe and ordered him to stop. When Tebe backed the pickup toward the officers, they opened fire in an attempt to disable the vehicle.

Police hit and flattened one of the tires, but Tebe drove away. No one was injured in the incident. The detective and other police pursued Tebe down Country Club Road, then down A Street before he stopped the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot.

Officers tackled him to the ground and arrested him. Two other people in the pickup, and the woman who was pushed out in the parking lot, were also arrested. Police did not release the identities of the three other suspects or the names of the officers involved by press time Saturday. Several stolen items were found inside the pickup, police said.
