NATCHITOCHES, La. -- A New Orleans man was wounded by gunfire in a botched holdup in a Natchitoches Wal-Mart restroom Sunday, police said.

Viator Tyndale, 48, told police that someone reached over the side of a stall and fired one shot into the floor, then demanded money. The gunman then moved to the front of the stall and fired two more rounds. Tyndale said he shoved the swinging stall door at the robber, who then fled the restroom.

Tyndale suffered a small cut on his hand from shoving the door.

A shopper in the store said he received a minor arm wound from what he believes is a round that exited the bathroom.

Lonnie Davis, of Natchitoches, was treated at the scene and declined further medical treatment.

The investigation is continuing.

Police are reviewing store surveillance video.

Man, how low can a criminal go!!!!!

I guess there will have to be security cameras installed in bathrooms now. If you do no wrong, you have nothing to fear. It's for the children.

[Conspiracy Guy]

This is a crappy deal.

[camle]

somehow i figgered you'd be involved in there somewhere!

[misterrob]

Well, could have been a couple of dudes on the down low that had something go wrong between them or maybe a drug deal gone sour?

Or, maybe he wouldn't share the sports page?

Natchitoches

Isn't that town pronounced "Nack-a-dish" or something like that?

[ArrogantBustard]

I bet not one in ten on this forum can correctly pronounce "NATCHITOCHES".

[camle]

or mebbe something else. any reports of damage to the stall? three bulletholes might tell us something, as can the absence thereof...

[CholeraJoe]

Yup. NACK-a-tish.

[Aliska]

Wal Mart is becoming a free fire zone.

NATCHITOCHES, La. is the oldest town. The red river changed course, leaving the town with out a port.
The old Red River bed is a lake. At Christmas time the lake has many boats decorated with lights. It is worth a trip.

Nice flag on your profile page. ;'}

Just like the UK, Australia, and Jamaica. They stop selling (ban) guns to prevent gun violence, and now it's become a criminal paradise.

Beware what you ask for, you just might get it...

We were 50 seconds apart on 3 and 4. You hit post as I started typing.

[camle]

so i'm faster than you?

[jtminton]

Here in Texas we have Nacogdoches. It's pronounced pretty much like it's spelled.

[Conspiracy Guy]

We'd need to ask an independent party.
