If you've ever shopped at Costco, you know you go there for the giant packages of toilet paper, the cheap hot dog meal and whatever other deals you can get. But recently, on a Saturday afternoon, shoppers and employees at a Costco in Ohio were sent running for their lives when a truck driver from Texas pulled in in his big rig.

This case takes us to Strongsville, a suburb south of Cleveland. It's Saturday, April 25th, a little after 5.30 p.m. Christian Bryant has parked his big rig in an area where Costco long-haul truckers drop off their loads. You can see Christian Bryant walk away from the truck and toward the parking lot. Bryant emerges from that delivery area and walks toward the store. Nothing seems amiss, but you can tell he's carrying something with him. Now it's just before 5.45 p.m., shoppers were coming and going, as you can see from this surveillance footage. It was busy, as it usually is, on Saturdays.

Through one of the windows, you can see, if you look very closely, that something is going on outside of the store. police say Christian Bryant pulled the gun he was carrying and fired at a Costco employee. His name, Randy Corrigan. The sound of gunfire stunned shoppers. At one point, a woman in black runs into the store, as other customers seem to freeze for a moment, and then the shoppers begin to scatter. A man in white stops and leaves his cart and runs toward the door pulling a woman to him. As the surveillance video plays, you can see store employees run toward the door of the store. The entrance of the Costco begins to clear out, and then the 911 call comes in. 9-1-1, where's your emergency? Strongville Costco. Somebody just got shot at the Costco? Somebody got shot at the Costco?

I was in fear for my life. Christian Bryant has been placed in the back of a police cruiser, and he had his cell phone with him, and he keeps replaying a recording where he says he came at me with an effing knife, and he's going to be dead for gang stalking. He's in this cruiser, but Christian Bryant is not in handcuffs. I just wanted to go to the store, bro. And now I'm at the... I just wanted to go to the store, bro.

That's it, bro. And this my... approached me with a knife, bro. And I just blew... I was in fear for my life. He approached me with a knife, man. I just called a beat. So I can beat this is easy.

Christian Bryant is recording himself, and he keeps replaying it over and over again, and he appears to find this funny. He keeps saying AC says that he can beat this easy. Then things don't appear to be as amusing to him when police returned to the cruiser. All right, well, get to that. A white man approached you with a knife for no reason.

Christian Bryant has gone from laughing about this terrible situation to now being concerned. He continues to say he didn't do anything wrong and that the person he shot came toward him with a knife. My truck is over there.

Yeah, that's me. That's me. It's Irvin, not Fort Worth. It's Irvin, Texas. The investigation continues, and Christian Bryant is eventually taken to the police department. A police incident report stated that Randy Corrigan had been shot seven to eight times, but that he was able to speak to police as medics tried to treat him. Randy Corrigan later passed away. His family wrote about him on a GoFundMe page.

Randy was an amazing, funny, and generous man who completely turned his life around after some trouble in his younger days. He was selfless and caring, the sole caregiver for my 86-year-old grandmother. Aside from taking care of her, he loved going to work at Costco, always talking about his coworkers. He would joke, laugh, and pass around sweet treats to everyone around him, making every day brighter for those he met. He loved all things Jeep, Irish, and never passed up an opportunity for a new tattoo. These passions brought him joy and made him unforgettable to everyone who knew him. Christian Bryant was booked on one charge of murder. Prosecutors say he approached the Costco, armed with a 40-caliber handgun,

equipped with a fully loaded 50-round drum magazine. Our deceitly Mr. Corrigan, who was an employee at Costco, was on a break. He was in his car and noticed this and attempted to stop him as he, prior to entering the front door of this busy Costco at about 5.25 p.m. He struggled. Mr. Bryant pulled his firearm. Took us a couple of steps back, pulled his firearm, shot Mr. Corrigan that advanced on Mr. Corrigan as he was on the ground and he shot him more as he was on the ground. Randy Corrigan's niece asked that Christian Bryant be held without bond. Prosecutors wanted a two. million bail set citing a prior firearms conviction. In the end, the judge set Christian Bryant's bail at $5 million. He remains behind bars. A future court date has not yet been set, but it seems clear that he will be claiming self-defense in this case, and we'll keep an eye on it for you. That's it for this episode of Crime Fix.

next time.
