New Mexico Police Investigate the Second Deadly Incident at a Wal-Mart in a Week
The Associated Press


ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - One man was killed and a woman was injured Thursday during an apparent domestic dispute inside a Wal-Mart on the city's southeast side, the second time in less than a week that one of the retail giant's Western stores has been the scene of deadly violence.

Police spokeswoman Trish Hoffman said a witness told authorities that a man had been stabbing the woman inside the store when another man intervened and shot her attacker.

Hoffman said the stabbing appeared to stem from a domestic dispute. She did not know the relationship between the woman and the dead man, but friends of the woman told Albuquerque television stations that she had recently obtained a restraining order against her ex-husband.

"It looks like it's a possibility that the guy who shot the other man will be justified," Hoffman said. "From what witnesses are telling us, it corroborates his story that the male was stabbing the female and he intervened."

Can't say I begrudge them the win on this one...

No doubt that it's extremely rare that a handgun is used justifiably.  Nice to see Mr. Stabby got his due.

Massachusetts is a very stabby state. It would probably get along well with New Mexico.

Stabbing is a little too interactive for me.

If you have your Concealed license here in Texas...you can defend anyone being hurt and you can shoot someone stealing your property.

This is why I hate Wal Mart.

This is why I hate Wal Mart.

Seriously. This dude is just minding his own business, stabbing his nagging wife and some cowboy decides to shoot him. What's this world coming to?

[General_Failure]

You know she deserved it.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

She may not have deserved it, but she definitely asked for it.

She may not have deserved it, but she definitely asked for it.

"Wow, hun. I can believe the prices here in this shteinhole. Stab me in the face. Oh! Look lawn accesories!"

'I know hun, smashing deals, jolly good sales people. Take that you rotten bitch. Wonder if they carry blow-up dolls."

Just being in WalMart makes me want to stab/shoot everyone within a 50 yd radius.

I'll bet at least one person involved was wearing sweatpants.

I'll bet at least one person involved was wearing sweatpants.

And at least another in overalls.

[rjs246]

And I'll bet they were all wearing wifebeaters that hadn't been washed in a few weeks.

Somebody had to be wearing an American flag t-shirt.
