Deputies were dispatched to the Walmart Supercenter in reference to a suspicious person. Walmart employees recognized a male inside the store as a known shoplifter. Upon arrival an employee advised them which other Randal Boyd Burton was in. As deputies approached the other, Burton, discharged a handgun toward them. Deputies advanced toward Burton, as he began to flee on foot. Deputies reportedly ordered Burton to drop his weapon. Burton did not drop the gun and instead fired more rounds at the deputies, and two deputies shot and killed Burton.
