We all know that shopping can be hazardous to your wallet. But few realize that it may be hazardous to one's health. But in this growing era of idiots, the risk of death may be real. In Port Orchard, Washington, shoppers found out perhaps why shopping (or at least store security) should be left up to women.. It all started when a man began to run from male deputies at a Wal-Mart. Suddenly, the man changed his course and began shooting in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Deputies were apparently unable to return fire. Fortunately, a female deputy arrived and killed the man. A teenage woman the gunman was apparently with was also killed in the melee. The two law officers wounded in the exchange of gunfire were taken to the hospital. Both are expected to have a full recovery.
How did it all happen? Deputies were first alerted to the man by telephone. When two deputies tried to speak with the man be began to run. "For reasons not yet known, the suspect turned and fired multiple shots," according to sheriff's spokesman Scott Wilson. Both male deputies were wounded and unable to fire back. Fortunately for shoppers, a female officer arrived on the scene and killed the gunman. Both deputies are in satisfactory condition and owe their lives to the female officer. The relationship between the teenage woman and the gunman is currently unknown. She ran to the gunman after he was shot and put herself in the line of fire.
How did the woman die? The identities of the dead haven't been released. According to witnesses, the man began running from deputies and then pulled out a gun and fired behind himself without looking. Five or six shots were fired. Both deputies were hit in the torso. The female cop ran toward the shooter and shot him down. The female accomplice of the shooter apparently ran to the shooter after he was struck and she was fatally wounded by gun fire.
Hasn't this happened before? Wal-Mart is no stranger to shootings. In June of 2009, Lakewood police were involved in a shoot out at a Lakewood Wal-Mart store when four men tried to rob an armored car. Video: Lakewood police. Lakewood story
2-22-11 Update: In an unrelated case, Wal-Mart was vindicated by a jury in a claim where the allegation was inadequate parking lot supervision. In Smith v. Walmart , a jury apparently found Wackenhut, but not Wal-Mart, responsible for inadequate parking lot security. Michael Born was murdered in the Wal-mart parking lot. Wackenhut was found to be responsible for over one million dollars in damages. Plaintiff was represented by attorney Mont Tanner. Wal-Mart was represented by Rob Phillips of Phillips, Spallas, and Angstadt.

Perhaps it is best to leave all guns in the hands of females and prohibit any male from touching them.
Not surprising at all. Most modern day heroes are women!
Well lets look at this logically, first off the two male officers were chasing this guy on foot and had no idea he had a gun. They were probably pretty close to catching him when he started to shoot back at them, the fact that he hit both of them without looking tell us they were close to him. The female officer arrives on the scene as the chase is in progress and the shooter does not see her, this gives her an advantage as she approaches and shoots from a different position, almost like a flanking move in a military battle…and she probably shot the girl because she did not know what she would do with the gun that was lying near the male perp.
Come on V.Guy. Just admit it. REal life super heroes today are women!
Title should be girls rule and boys droole.
I just read that the two male officers were 30-40 feet behind the shooter...How the heck did he hit them by shooting behind himself without looking while on the run !! ?
Video Guy, my guess is that the male cops are just extremely unlucky. Just another reason to have a force of only women who are allowed to apprehend the "bad guys."
