Stabbings at Schnuck's on Highway 64
Police say up to six people stabbed at the Schnucks on Highway 64, 9025 Stage Road at Fletcher Trace Parkway, near Rock Creek Blvd.
As of 10:10 a.m. emergency crews have been on the scene for about 15 minutes. Initial reports say up to ten people stabbed. At least one injury may be severe.
Eyewitnesses say an employee "snapped" and started stabbing other employees. Emergency crews have not yet said if any customers were injured.
Reports from the scene indicate the stabbings may have started at the rear of the store, perhaps in a stockroom.
Victims are said to be located in the front and the rear of the store.
Lovely. I'm about 2 miles from this.
I thought it said schmucks. What is Schnucks?
Grocery store chain.
Thanks. The headline says "Schuck's"
Please somebody, change the name. It's awful.
Schnuck's bought out the old Seesel's chain here in Memphis. We've gotten used to the name, but it took a while.
"Schnuck's bought out the old Seesel's chain here in Memphis"
Seesel's ? LoL. Is this a comedy routine?
This is my first time to ever post breaking news. I thought I posted it in "Breaking News". What did I do wrong? Thanks.
Not a joke. Seessel's was sold by Albertsons to Schnuck's.

Let us know if it was Bill Jones or Ali Babba that went berserk.
LOL - I'll only hear about the race or ethnicity around here if it is a white red-neck country boy.
According to news, someone in the store had a gun and held the fellow at gunpoint until police could arrive.
Schnucks schmuck shnaps; Shopmen shanked.
The victims -- four in critical condition -- were taken to area hospitals. Their identities were not available.
According to police, the Schnucks worker, an unidentified man in his early 20s, was dropped off by a family member shortly before 9:30, entered the store and stabbed two women in the office of the produce manager. He left the office and stabbed six more employees before fleeing the store. With police enroute, a man who worked in a nearby office subdued the stabber in the parking lot.
If it does get any mention, rest assured that there will be no mention of the fact that the criminal was stopped by a law-abiding citizen with a firearm. Can't let people think that guns are actually used to defend and save lives.
It also quotes Memphis Police Sgt. Vince Higgins, who said, "We commend him," Higgins said. "But we don't encourage people to take that kind of risk. He could have been hurt."
Yeah, he should have just watched the perp stab more people. Shut up and let someone with a clue speak to the media.
