Amarillo police said nei- ther hostage was injured and identified the suspect as 54-year-old Moham- mad Moghaddam. Police didn't release any details about Moghaddam, includ- ing whether he was former employee or what may have led up to the incident. Officers responded to a reported shooting at the store around 11 a.m., amid reports that an armed per- son was inside and may have had hostages. Police later said officers made their way inside the store and that a police SWAT crew shot the suspect, though they didn't imme- diately say whether the man had died. No other in- juries were reported. In a brief statement late Tuesday afternoon, police confirmed that Moghad- dam had been fatally shot. Police called the incident a "workplace violence event," saying Moghaddam had a work-related dispute with a manager he took hostage. Wal-Mart spokesman Brian Nick released a state- ment earlier Tuesday say- ing all store associates and customers were safe. Nick thanked officers, say- ing: "This was a very dif- ficult situation and we are thankful for the quick re- sponse from law enforce- ment." Authorities said the investigation was ongoing in Amarillo, a city in the Texas Panhandle. Some nearby streets were closed as a precaution during the incident, including an off ramp to Interstate 27. The city released a state- ment earlier in the day, say- ing only that emergency of- ficials were on the scene of an "active shooter inci- dent."

By Amanda Lee Myers and Dylan Lovan The Associated Press LOS ANGELES An Indiana man was charged Tuesday with three felony weapons violations after authorities say they found three as- sault rifles and explosive chemicals in his car before a major Los Angeles gay pride parade. James Wesley Howell, 20, was charged in Los Angeles County Superior Court with possessing an assault weapon, possess- ing a destructive device on a public street, and im- porting or manufacturing a large magazine. He was also charged with a misde- meanor count of possess- ing a loaded firearm in a vehicle. If convicted of all the charges, prosecutors say Howell could face up to nine years and eight months in prison. Howell was set to ap- pear in court later Tues- day. Prosecutors were ask- ing that he be held on $2 million bail. It was unclear if Howell had an attorney. Police say Howell was arrested early Sunday in Santa Monica with the weapons and explosives in a car he apparently drove from Indiana. He told po- lice he was headed to a gay pride event in West Holly- wood that attracts hun- dreds of thousands of peo- ple. It's unclear whether Howell intended any vio- lence at the LA Pride event, but the timing of the arrest — hours after the massa- cre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida — put po- lice and event organizers on heightened alert. Federal agents searched Howell's Jefferson, Indi- ana, home on Monday af- ter obtaining a search war- rant, Indianapolis FBI of- fice spokeswoman Wendy Osborne. Osborne and Indianap- olis U.S. attorney's office spokesman Tim Horty said they couldn't give any de- tails on the search. A message seeking com- ment from Howell's Ken- tucky attorney was not im- mediately returned Tues- day. Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman in Los An- geles, said the federal in- vestigation is ongoing. Howell was not allowed to have weapons or leave Indiana because he was serving a year of probation following an April convic- tion in his home state on a misdemeanor intimidation charge. An Indiana probation of- ficer met with Howell three weeks ago, rated him a low- level offender, and had yet to schedule a surprise in- home visit to see if How- ell had any weapons, said James Hayden, chief proba- tion officer in Clark County. Indiana authorities were seeking to have Howell re- turned to that state as a probation violator. Court records in Indiana and friends depict Howell as a gun enthusiast with a quick temper. Twice within four days last October he was ac- cused of pulling a gun and making threats. The first incident involved Howell's then-boyfriend and the sec- ond a neighbor, identified in police records as Jeremy Hebert. Indiana man charged a er gu ns f ou nd b ef or e ga y ev en t By Lindsey Tanner The Associated Press CHICAGO Accidental overdoses aren't the only deadly risk from using powerful prescription painkillers — the drugs may also contribute to heart-related deaths and other fatalities, new re- search suggests. Among more than 45,000 patients in the study, those using opioid painkillers had a 64 per- cent higher risk of dying within six months of start- ing treatment compared to patients taking other prescription pain medi- cine. Unintentional over- doses accounted for about 18 percent of the deaths among opioid users, ver- sus 8 percent of the other patients. "As bad as peo- ple think the problem of opioid use is, it's proba- bly worse," said Wayne Ray, the lead author and a health policy professor at Vanderbilt University's medical school.
