WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- A woman who stabbed and wounded four people in a busy Target store Monday afternoon was arrested when an off-duty sheriff's deputy pulled his gun and ordered the woman to the ground as screaming shoppers ran from the building, authorities said.

Layla Trawick started randomly stabbing people with a blade about the size of a kitchen knife at about 12:45 p.m., Los Angeles sheriff's Sgt. Josh Mankini said. The 35-year-old was arrested with the help of private security guards.

This is a good example of the good a person carrying a concealed weapon can do.

He put an end to it, maybe saved some lives, and all without firing a shot.

It’s West Hollywood, aka: “WeHo”, the “rainbow” city.

All sorts of strange stuff happens there.

geez! half the article was explaining how the off-duty cop scared everyone with his gun, and why in the world he would be carrying it in a crowded store.

It sure is. Imagine the mayhem had he not been there. How many more would have been stabbed by this crazy woman had he not been in the right place at the right time to stop her?

You know, in NY it’s illegal to sell a knife to anyone under 21, even kitchen knives.

I found that out just recently when I was shopping with my son for some kitchen knives he wanted to buy. I had to get them to be legal.

AZ just passed a knife preemption law.

IIRC one AZ city tried an outright ban on knives.
