Walmart guard pulls out Taser during confrontation with teens
Off-duty law enforcement officer heard on cellphone video threatening teens

HOUSTON - A parking lot confrontation at a Walmart between an off-duty police officer and several teenagers almost got violent, and it was all caught on a cellphone camera.

In the video shot early Friday at a store on Beltway 8 near Beechnut, two teenagers are heard joking around in the parking lot. One used his camera phone to record stray shopping carts and signs.

The teens were confronted by a security guard who doesn't want to be a part of their footage.
