COTTONWOOD, Ariz. One of the nine suspects was killed. Another was shot in the stomach. All eight responding officers were injured, including one 10-year veteran who required surgery.
Its the aftermath of an all-out melee in a Walmart parking lot in Cottonwood, Arizona, a town of 11,000 people about an hours drive south of Flagstaff.
But details are murky outside of the injury and arrest reports....

It’s been awhile but the only ones I remember were visiting students. Certainly not enough to hold a family shootout. Idaho is pretty big on “working folks”.
Reportedly lived in their SUV and had been parked in the lot for days.
Guilty of being Walmart irregulars.
More info here including mug shots.

Also, Cottonwood, AZ isn’t the edge of the known universe —but you can see the edge of the known universe from there.
Cultish survivalists with some WBC thrown in for flavour? ‘Matthew 24 Now’ suggests there could be some kind of end of the world cult ideas. Since they are all relatives, sounds like a Westboro Baltist Church type group.
“When officers arrived, the suspects were in the parking lot and immediately attacked the responding officers.”
Well, I wouldn’t mess with you either FRiend. There’s something about messing with those biker types that just screams suicide to me.
That explains why John McCain's out of his head so often - his ranch is located there!
There’s a link to their facebook page, but I didn’t look at it.
Yup. They just closed three in ABQ from midnight to 6:00 a.m. due to the violence that usually takes place overnight.
They figure you have enough problems ...
It sounds like they went south for the winter and got caught shoplifting.
Actually, it didn’t look bad when I saw it about ten years ago. The wife and I stopped at the Walmart in Cottonwood to get some things while on a trip out west. Nobody got shot though.
Matthew 24 is one of the more eschatological passages in the New Testament.
9 suspects, 8 cops, and only 2 rounds on target?
Somebody needs more range time.
Walmart is the epicenter of white trash.
I hope they keep them all down in AZ. I don’t get to Boise but every few years, but still appreciate less freaks when I do go.
So was the cop with the foot wound shot with his own piece during a struggle? In any case, I wonder——do any of these Gavers have things called “jobs”?
Had a really good Italian meal at Franco’s in Cottonwood. We were on our way back to Sedona from a day trip to Jerome.
