MARIETTA -- Shoppers looking for discounts at the Wal-Mart on Cobb Parkway got more than they bargained for Wednesday morning.

Around 12:30 a.m., two men started exchanging gunfire in the parking lot.

"I didn't know what was going on. I was scared to death," said Ronise Croumpler.

Croumpler and her young daughter were leaving the store when the shoot-out began.

Nobody was injured, but at least four vehicles were hit.

When police arrived, the man who fired the first shots had escaped. The second man, believed to have returned fire in self-defense, was detained and questioned. He's not expected to face charges.

Instead of celebrating that a crime was prevented, she focues on a woman being scared.

Is this the one by Terrell Mill Rd just north of Windy Hill?

Amazing, isn’t it? A life was spared, but someone is scared.

Thank you. We are required by federal statute to post that link whenever there is a Walmart story, so that all children can learn, at an early age, what is inappropriate attire for going out in public.

I swear I thought up the idea first but they beat me to getting the website online!

Whenever I am dissatisfied with my wardrobe, I go to that site and end up feeling a whole lot better. There should be another federal statute that requires people to look at themselves in a full-length mirror before leaving their domicile.

Around 12:30 a.m???? What were they doing out so late? HA!

Attention WALMART Shoppers! Todays special is a shootout in aisle 2....

That Terrell Mill Road location is a bad one for sure; but, it actually was the one just south of the Big Chicken.

Let's see, a shootout in Marietta, just north of inner-city hell-hole (demonRAT inmates running the asylum), Atlanta, with no one getting injured (NSF's can't hit the broad side of a barn, but THINK dey bad by holding their gats sideways).

Is there ANY question that it was drug-dealing scumbag ghetto-rats?

[Hoodat]

Ah, now I see it.

[gundog]

Save money, live better. Though not necessarily longer.

This sort of thing never happens where guns are forbidden like on military installations, and in Chicago /sarc

When police arrived, the man who fired the first shots had escaped. The second man, believed to have returned fire in self-defense, was detained and questioned. He's not expected to face charges.

"He is, however, expected to be ordered by the court to attend 40 hours of mandatory target practice."
