CINCINNATI (AP) — Pellet guns have been pulled from shelves at the Ohio store where a 22-year-old man holding an air rifle was fatally shot by police, a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokesman said Tuesday.

Spokesman Brian Nick said the move last week at the Beavercreek location near Dayton was store-specific, not a change in national policy for the world’s largest retailer. He said the store’s customers can still buy air guns, although they are not on display. The store also continues to sell firearms, which were already kept locked up, he said.
