NOVI, Mich. (WJBK) - Shoppers at a Walmart in Novi, Mich. were in for some frightening moments as they witnessed a woman pull out a loaded gun Monday afternoon. Police say the gun was pulled out during a fight over school supplies.

"It was in the back to school section over a notebook," says Novi Police Det. Scott Baetens.

Novi officers say two Farmington Hills women, ages 32 and 46, were inside the Novi Towne Center Walmart, shopping for school supplies. Apparently, so was a 20-year-old South Lyon woman and her mother, 51.

"One girl was going to buy a notebook. There was one left, some pushing resulted," Baetens says. "They began to argue who was the rightful purchaser of that notebook."

Both duos of women were not backing down, as police and witnesses described the two women pulling the younger woman's hair. That mother got shoved out of the way as the three continued to fight. That mother then pulled out a gun.

"She's a valid CPL holder," Baetens says. "She pulled out her firearm and tells them to stop attacking her daughter while pointing the gun at them."

The fight quickly ended as customers were seen running away and police were called.

"It was a senseless act of violence all the way around," Baetens says.

Novi police say they need more witnesses to come forward as they work to get surveillance video from the Walmart to get a closer look at what happened. Police spoke with prosecutors, who hope to determine who the aggressors were and if the woman, in fact, pulled the gun in self defense. Those four women are all facing possible charges.

Names? They’re all of age. You can learn a lot from names, if you get my drift (yup, ya do).

Anyway, until I see pics that prove otherwise, I’m calling it:

Toad Rage.

“What is going on? Why are people wired so tight with frustration that their anger quickly turns irrationally volcanic? And this type of stuff is happening all the time now. People are just snapping. What gives?”

The leftist/feminist propaganda of “Everyone is a Winner” is running into the “There’s Only One Notebook Left” reality, plus the acceptance of violence as a legitimate alternative to logic and emotional restraint in solving even simple problems.

Unfortunately, violent self-defense is the only option when confronted with the actions of these illogical and immature people.

No description of the women involved. No names. Yet they will be charged. Video is seemingly intentionally inconclusive or edited.

I wonder what one is to infer from all that.

Sounds like the big rushes for Running Back Dolls, back a couple of decades ago.

People are just snapping. What gives?

I have observed that also. Saw a road rage incident in the Costco parking lot yesterday between two guys. Maybe it's cell phone radiation, or something in the water. Or President Trump's fault. People are going violent all around. Oh well, stay safe.
