Walmart is removing from its stores nationwide signs, displays or videos that depict violence following a mass shooting at one of its stores in Texas, though it has not changed its policy on gun sales.

The retailer instructed employees in an internal memo to remove any marketing material, turn off or unplug video game consoles that show violent games—specifically Xbox and PlayStation consoles, and to monitor and turn off any violence depicted on screens in its electronics departments.
