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.

well, I'm skeptical that anyone can be shot at three times pent up in a bathroom stall and not even get a scratch. not a lot of places to duck in there y'know...

The No Man title made it sound like the Odyssey had come to Wal Mart.

Some people are really bad shots. At stall range I could leave a fairly tight grouping, even in the dark.

I think the whole thing started like this:

"Hey buddy. Could you pass me some toilet paper? We're out over here... Hey, I'm not kidding around. I'm in a spot here... I said GIVE ME SOME TOILET PAPER YOU ##^$%%**!!"

New Orleans can be a smelly place. I wouldn't go in a Walmart restroom in any town.

Yup, somethin' here just ain't right. I'm disturbed by the fact that they're reviewing surveillance footage. I rarely pee at a Walmart, but I would like to have the right to do so without cameras up my a$$! Hopefully they were talking about cameras right outside the bathroom, eh?

Sounds like a typical Wal-Mart criminal.

Try to shoot the guy BEFORE you rob him...

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

"Nacho cheese?" Do I win?

How the hell does one get Nakatish from Natchitoches? Y'all are dropping letters somewhere. A whole syllable is missing.

Not really. We don't say the G. Nacogdoches is pronounced Nackadocious.
