“Court documents say the company claims Turner chased Walls with a baseball bat into the entrance of the store, creating more danger to those inside.”
I found more detailed stories here:

As is usually the case, it is not so cut and dry as the original post makes it sound. Turner and Walls had a confrontation outside. Walls ended up inside. Turner followed inside with a baseball bat. Target says Turner chased Wall inside with the baseball bat. That is the part of the story that seems like we don’t really know the truth yet.
Target agrees that Walls is responsible for the girls injuries. But Target is saying that it was not their lack of security that caused this incident, but rather that it was the actions of Turner and his friends that started the chain of events that led to the incident.
Walls is apparently a homeless crazy person and Turner and his friends may be a bunch of thugs. We really don’t know yet.

It still sounds pretty cut and dried to me in that Target should not sue Turner. That part doesn't confuse me at all.
