Police say the suspect shot a man while trying to carjack him in the Tumwater Walmart parking lot. That's when another man stepped in and shot the suspect.
Two people were injured and a suspect shot dead after a man tried to carjack several people at the Walmart in Tumwater Sunday afternoon.
The incident happened about 5 p.m. Sunday at the Walmart Supercenter at 5900 Littlerock Rd SW, located near several businesses, including a Home Depot and a Toyota dealership.
According to a police spokesperson, the call began as a DUI suspect call. While police were searching for the suspect, they believe the suspect shot a man while attempting to carjack him in the parking lot of the Walmart. That's when another man stepped in and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.
The driver who was carjacked suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was listed in critical condition.
Police say the suspect had also tried to carjack a second person, a 16-year-old girl. She sustained minor injuries.
While police say the shots happened outside the Walmart, witnesses say they could hear the shots inside the store.
"Once we determined that it was gunshots, we left immediately. And we didn't stop until we were out of the area," said witness Ralph Faulder.
An active investigation is underway at three crime scenes at or around the Tumwater Walmart, all believed to be related to the incident.

Given that there are no names published, is it safe to assume that this was a racis’ incident?
Rhode Island? Arkansas? Florida?
But will it play in Seattle?
And this story just got deleted from the Commie media’s memory bank, can’t report this since a GOOD GUY with a gun took out a BAD GUY with a gun, narrative doesn’t fit
Washington
Witnesses inside the store said they heard gunshots. When did hearing shots make one a witness?
They all look alike to me anyway.
Ever since Manafort was jailed for witness tampering....
2 injured, suspect dead in shooting at Tumwater (Washington) Walmart

Officer, I was in fear of my life and was trying to prevent myself and others from further deadly injury.
Before you know it they will be survivors.
Wal-Mart.
Where America Shops!
The title says “2 injured, suspect dead in shooting at Tumwater (Washington) Walmart”
I’ll hazard a guess it was in Washington state, in some burg by the name of Tumwater?
Works for me too but this incident will only make the libtards in Olympia work that much harder to infringe on gun rights.
There you go. Fixed it for you. :) LOL!
Thanks!
I must be slipping...
Cannot believe I missed That!
For us ancient ones, Tumwater, Olympia Beer!
I guess you’re not a beer drinker. The now defunct Olympia Brewing Company was headquartered in Tumwater, WA. Their motto was, “It’s the Water!” Artesian water in Tumwater.
