Shoplifter pulls gun on Walmart employee

Just before 10:30 pm last night an employee at the Walmart on Whitelock and Bruceville noticed a customer leaving the store without paying for the merchandise in his cart. The employee confronted the suspect and the suspect then pulled out a handgun. Fearing for his own safety, the employee did not chase after the suspect. The suspect then took some items out of the cart and into the passenger seat of a gray SUV that fled the area. The suspect was described as being a Hispanic male in his 40’s, 5’7”, 150 lbs., wearing a white t-shirt and tan shorts. If you have any information on the suspect please contact Elk Grove Police
