A man who armed himself with a butcher knife for sale stabbed a 9-year-old boy and another shopper at a Target store in downtown Los Angeles, California police reported.A store security guard shot and killed the man at 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the store near Figueroa and 7th Streets, Chief Michel Moore said at a news briefing, as shared by ABC7 on YouTube.
“It’s a troubling night with Los Angeles here — to see this type of violence in our city,” Moore said.
After picking up the knife, the 40-year-old man told a 9-year-old boy “he was going to stab him and kill him,” Moore said. The boy, who had become separated from his mother in the store, tried to walk away.
The man “without any further provocation” stabbed the child from behind, Moore said. Other shoppers came to his aid while the attacker moved away.
“I saw the kid who was stabbed stumble his way towards me,” Target employee Justin Orkin told KNBC. “As he was doing that, the guy was running the other way, running away.”
The man encountered two shoppers in an aisle and “brutally” stabbed a 25-year-old woman in the chest, Moore said. Others pulled the injured woman into a pharmacy and closed the gate.
“You can imagine the mayhem that was going on,” Moore said. Another woman was trampled by shoppers fleeing the store.
The man moved to the front of the store, where an armed security guard confronted him, Moore said. The guard shot him in the stomach.

Another good guy with a gun. Pity the stabber wasn’t gut shot sooner. No word on the injured- hope they pull through.

Is Houston actually a Chicago franchise?
They are trying hard – like two lesbians attempting to reproduce.
I don’t a man alive brave enough to risk his junk sticking it in one of those two.
Still a lot of fallout form katrina. So many “fine folks” from New Orleans got shuffled over there as part of the disaster relief.
A gutjob and a nutjob taken off of the streets, albeit one only temporarily. Just another day at the office. Full recovery wished for the innocents.
When the tempest that is brewing amongst the Patriots of this lands develops into the storm, I don’t think they’ll be a rainbow at the end. It will be a flood of blood.
Fugly, plasticized, abominations. Yep, I called it. (see comments from Thursday’s FGS) I think I’ll go give my Kimber 1911 Model Custom LW a hug and wait for the Sunday Gunz Girl.
ps to our Beloved AW1Ed. There were a few more single shot examples to look at…Springfield Trapdoor, Remington Rolling Block, 1842 Mississippi, .58 Springfield/Enfield…
Sing it, brotha! Amen!
It’s a race to the bottom and for notoriety.
Who gets there first?
Shit-congo? Houston? Lost Angles? Kansas? Florida?
Baltimore called, trash-talked the other cities. Wants in on the race.
I like the guy who, in response to a story proclaiming New Orleans as the most violent city, stated, “don’t count out St Louis- we have a strong farm team and will be back on top.”
Houston guy was out on parole and wearing an ankle monitor.
