FULL TITLE: Walmart security guard shoots 'shoplifting' mother dead in parking lot as she tries to escape with two young children
A 27-year-old mother of two has been fatally shot by an off-duty sheriff's deputy after he suspected her of shoplifting at a Houston Walmart.
Harris County Sheriff's deputies have said that victim Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig were stealing when they were confronted by Louis Campbell a 26-year veteran of the force who works as a security guard at the store.
According to Campbell the women ran to their car and when he rushed to open the door, they accelerated away - at which point he fired the deadly shot into the car which hit Frey in the neck.

Security at the store on the 14000 block of the North Freeway had noticed the three women 'stuffing items inside their purses' and notified Campbell, who was working an extra job that evening.
Investigators with Harris County said the three women even attempted to pay for some small items to act as a cover for the shoplifted ones.

Not sure how crowded it was but I can assure you however many people were there, they weren’t the pillars of their community. That part of town isn’t where I’d want to hang out. Of course, hanging out in a Walmart parking lot isn’t safe no matter what part of town it’s in.
Story says reverse.
You're obviously a bleeding heart liberal and criminal apologist.
So far all you've done is make unfounded allegations.
A felony was committed. He had a right to use deadly force to stop a felon fleeing from the scene of the crime.
Story says they weren't hers. I would think they were one of the other women's, maybe even both.
Have you ever been there? I have two friends who sold homes at Remington Ranch subdivision located right behind this Walmart. So “I can assure you”.....
Then they are both dumb bitches for taking children in a crime getaway vehicle. The kids should be taken away before the two criminals get them killed.
Irrelevant. I'm not the one claiming the parking lot was busy. Were you there to witness the incident?
Umm your here... you have an account..
Does that not make you a freeper?
Just wondering.. your tagline and all.
Ya.. who does he think he is? An officer of the law?
1 let me drag you around with my car. you get one shot after your shoes come off. I bet I live and you miss.
2 She was dragging him around with the car. Or was this one of those evil esss you vees that commits attempted murder on its own?
3 could have. woulda been a pitty. BUT WHO THE F#%K BRINGS KIDS WITH TO COMMIT A CRIME?!?!?!?
Ya I mean he could have been a neighborhood watchman in FL...
You can count on the litters of these criminal scumbags to grow up and become loyal, welfare-sucking Democrats.
...and the next generation of shoplifters.
Certainly, whatever happens to Smith should happen n-fold to Campbell! (remembering that n*0 is 0).
That's what they always say.

“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
The woman could have avoided death (or at least death at Wally-World) if she had not repeatedly made bad lifestyle choices. She wasn’t even supposed to step foot in a Wal-Mart [after a previous shoplifting experience].
I suppose it’s just another Darwin Award. Many intentional misdeeds that lead to death shouldn’t be capital offenses, but push against the natural order of things often enough, and the likelihood of these kinds of results increases.
Life can dole out enough random/senseless tragedy where victims are clearly are not to blame, but somehow this individual failed to learn that survival odds are greatly improved when reasonable care is taken to avoid the Darwin zones.
“There are people in California doing 25 to life for shoplifting as their third offense.”
Yes, but that penalty is for being a habitual criminal.
By the time you are arrested, tried and convicted of three felonies? You’ve probably committed 500. Enough already.
you are obviously a shoot-from-the-hip yahoo.
What does "ru" mean?
