Wildin’ out at Wal-mart! This fool shot up a cotdamn Wallyworld because he didn’t want to put a leash on his dog!

A double amputee allegedly gunned down a Walmart worker after being asked to put his service dog on a leash — before being caught fleeing on his motorized scooter by cops.

Daniel Pirtle, 45, was said to have been asked by assistant manager Jason Mahi, 33, to place the animal under control after entering the store in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday afternoon.

His request sparked an argument, during which Pirtle pull out a weapon and shoot Mahi in the stomach, witnesses said.

Trying to escape on his electric vehicle, Pirtle was nabbed by cops close to the building’s entrance. They arrested him, placed him in handcuffs and confiscated his handgun.

Army veteran Sergeant Carlos Morales told the Anchorage Daily News the gunshot “sounded like somebody dropped a big box”.

Morales, who was in the store with his wife and children, said he rushed to help Mahi who had fallen on the floor.

“He said, ‘I can’t feel my feet.’ He just kept talking about his kids,” said Morales, before adding: “My kids, my son,’ that’s basically all he said. Everyone else tried to keep him awake.”

Mahi was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery. He is now in a stable condition.

Anchorage Police Sgt Cameron Hokenson said Pirtle was charged with first-degree assault and fourth-degree weapons misconduct.

He is now being held at Anchorage Jail on bail of $50,000. His dog has been taken temporarily to a female police officer’s home.

Walmart spokesman Dan Fogleman said the shooting was a “senseless, unprovoked act of violence”.
