Tupelo, Mississippi pilot threatening to crash plane into Walmart, police say

 

A pilot flying a small plane over Tupelo, Mississippi has threatened to crash into a Walmart, authorities warned Saturday.

 

The Tupelo Police Department said it was notified around 5 am this morning that a pilot flying what a "King Air type" airplane was considering the crash landing into a Walmart located on West Main street.

 

Authorities have confirmed the plane, which is believed to have been stolen, is a fixed wing multi-engine 1987 Beech C90A model.

 

Authorities said they have evacuated the Walmart and a Dodges eatery and gas station located near the shopping center to disperse people "as much as practical."

 

Roads in west Tupelo and near the airport have been reopened and the pilot was last reported to be flying near a Toyota plant in Blue Springs, an area northeast of Tupelo, according to local reporting.

 

The police department said they are in contact with the pilot who is an employee of the Tupelo Regional Airport.

 

Gov. Tate Reeves took to Twitter to spread the warning first issued by the Tupelo Police department and said, "State law enforcement and emergency managers are closely tracking this dangerous situation."

I did a quick image search to get a look at the type of buildings in Tupelo, literally no real tall buildings, the buildings in the pictures are only 2 stories max.

Nothing really important there, unless you count the Tupelo National Battlefield as important enough.

No, but Tupelo has nothing of real interest that someone would single out to be targeted by a plane… it's a small town dumbfuck.

There is a difference between culturally important, and important to the point where there are thousands of people in the building.

They are different types of important.
