TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The murder suspect at the center of an hours-long standoff last week broke through the police perimeter and went shopping at Walmart, police tell WTHI.
Michael R. Reynolds, 36, is accused of fatally shooting Amanda Kerns, 40, on March 5 at a home in the 2100 block of Putnam Street. He also shot and critically injured a second person, Ronald Lawrence, at the same location.
Officials believe the shooting was the result of a domestic violence situation.
The shooting led to a 20-hour standoff with dozens of Terre Haute police officers surrounding the home.
However, newly released information by police reveals Reynolds didn’t stay in the home throughout the entirety of the standoff. He broke through the police barrier, and he went shopping at Walmart on South U.S. 41, WTHI reports. Video from the store confirms his visit.
Reynolds eventually returned back to the home at the center of the standoff, which Plasse describes as “puzzling.” But the police chief says he’s very thankful he returned.
Reynolds was later shot and killed by state police SWAT officers.

People of Walmart alert.
The alleged dead girlfriend:
These perimeters (at this house and the florida school) seem to be as open as our border.
This explains the Parkland Florida case quite neatly, really...
He slipped through.
Not broke through.
Reynolds was later shot and killed by state police SWAT officers.
He was thankful because it gave the SWAT team target practice? You just can't make this stuff up folks. How did he get past the police? Apparently he did it twice, going & coming?
That dude reminds me of “Gomer Pyle” from Full Metal Jacket. And...after he “lost it” in the movie.
He could be sitting on a beach in Panama already, and cops would still be surrounding the house....
Yep, dese are da guys that are gonna keep us all safe after they take are assault weapons.
“The Perimeter” was probably 1-2 cops sitting in their cars and texting
“Reynolds was later shot and killed by state police SWAT officers.”
That’s always a better option than going to Walmart.
They must have brought up some Broward deputies for their perimeter experience. Their guy went browsing at Walmart too.
I have to say it, this Walmart Shopper/killer made the PoPo look like Barney Fifes.
The guy “broke through” the so-called police barrier to go to shopping at Walmart, then “broke through” to get back into the house......what, did he get hungry, and discovered that there was no food in the house? Did he hear of a really good sale? Maybe, he ran out of ammunition and went to get some more?
Instead of breaking through the police barrier, why didn’t he just call a time out?
Boy, does this make the police look like a bunch of useless fools.
A. Why did he return to the house after his shop stop?
B. Did the police have a photo of the suspect?
Maybe most the officers didn’t really know what he looked like.
In 20 hours he could have had delivery from Amazon Prime (just about).
Oh, my. Reynolds and police have a combined IQ of 37.
I wonder what he bought.
