Occurred August 24, 2013.
Scene of shooting at Springfield Walmart

(UPDATED -- see below)

Two people went to a Walmart parking lot, in Springfield, Oregon, in a pre-arranged meeting with acquaintances involving a monetary transaction.  But the two people they went to meet instead attacked them.  One of the victims was beaten.  The other was critically wounded when he was shot three times (in the torso and extremities).

Police responded, and a chase ensued.  Both attackers were captured.

From an article:
Police on Saturday arrested Anthony James Hillenius, 20, and charged him with first-degree assault and two counts of first-degree robbery. Hillenius, who is also known as Anthony James Enlow, is suspected of firing the gun that sent one victim to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, Sgt. David Lewis said. 
Also charged with two counts of first-degree robbery was Cory Lee Michael Monpas, also 20. 
Lewis did not disclose the names of the two robbery victims but said they are not Lane County residents. The second victim was physically assaulted but not shot, Lewis said.
The first victim was shot in three different places, both in the torso and extremities, Lewis said. The victim was taken to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield. 
Police have conflicting reports on how many shots were fired, Lewis said. A .45-caliber handgun was confiscated as potential evidence, he said. 
The two suspects and the two victims were recent acquaintances, Lewis said. The meeting at Walmart appeared to be pre-arranged, he said. “There was to be an exchange of money for something else,” he said. 
Lewis said police wish to interview another person who was not present at the shooting but may have facilitated the meeting. He said that as of this afternoon police were not certain of that individual’s name.
Shortly after the shooting took place, two suspects were seen leaving the Wal-Mart parking lot in a blue Ford Thunderbird. 
Troopers stopped the car about 15 minutes later and asked the driver and passenger to put their hands out of the vehicle, Springfield Police Sergeant Rich Charboneau said. 
The driver sped off while the trooper was waiting for backup to respond. 
Police said they eventually found the car on N Street after a short chase. Both the driver and passenger had ran from the car into the neighborhoods nearby. 
Police used four K-9 units to search the area, and Sgt. Charboneau said  they quickly found one of the men, who they later identified as Anthony Enlow (also known as Anthony Hillenius). 
A second suspect ran from the car onto Nighthawk Lane. 
After searching the area, a K-9 unit located Cory Monpas hiding underneath a pickup truck canopy that was propped up behind a shed in the back yard of 550 W N. St. 
Both men were booked at the lane county jail later that night. Enlow faces assault I charges and two counts of robbery I. Monpas was also charged with two counts of robbery I.
UPDATE (9/3/13):  According to a later article, the men had met to carry out a drug deal. The shooting victim's condition has been upgraded.

UPDATE  (4/17/14):  During the trial of the shooter, Enlow, the shooting victim testified about his fight for life, and that it was a drug deal gone bad.  From an article:

The shooting victim testified that he and a friend are both state-registered medical marijuana caregivers who brought approximately $14,000 to Springfield for a meeting with Enlow and another man, who allegedly had agreed to sell them 8 pounds of marijuana.
Prosecutors allege that Enlow shot the Portland man while both were in a vehicle, and that Enlow hadn’t actually brought any marijuana with him to the meeting, intending instead to rob the eventual shooting victim and his friend.
The shooting victim testified that he initially thought Enlow “was bluffing” when he pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and demanded money. The Portland man said he called for help, but that Enlow then “shot me. There was no struggle.”
A bullet entered the victim’s body through his right side, traveled through his chest and pierced his left hand. He testified that after being shot, he got out of the vehicle and ran toward Walmart while struggling to take a breath. “I couldn’t breathe,” he said. “I was dying.”
Medics arrived at the scene a short time later and took him to a hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition. The man testified that he remains in pain from the injuries he suffered eight months ago. The Register-Guard generally does not identify victims of alleged crimes.
Enlow and another man, Corey Lee Michael Monpas, left the parking lot in a car after the shooting. Police arrested Enlow after stopping the vehicle on N Street in Springfield.
Monpas allegedly ran from the car but was taken into custody when officers tracked him down several hours later.
Monpas, a 20-year-old Cottage Grove resident, was sentenced to nearly six years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this year to second-degree assault. He admitted to having beaten the shooting victim’s friend with a stun gun during the incident.
The stun-gun assault victim also testified Wednesday, saying that he feared his friend was going to bleed to death outside the Walmart on Olympic Street.
“He was just covered in blood,” said the 21-year-old man, who is a Benton County resident. “I didn’t want to watch my buddy die.”

UPDATE (4/25/14):  Enlow was found not-guilty of attempted murder, but was found guilty of other crimes.  He has received 15 years sentence for those crimes.  From an article:
The shooting victim last week testified that he and a friend are both state-registered medical marijuana caregivers who brought approximately $14,000 to meet with Enlow and another man, who they said agreed to sell them 8 pounds of marijuana. 
Prosecutors argued that Enlow did not intend to sell them marijuana, and instead went to the Walmart parking lot to rob the men. Enlow brought with him a bag full of blankets and pillows, not pot. 
“This case is about two young men who admittedly had no jobs, no money and were interested in getting some,” Deputy District Attorney Erik Hasselman said during his closing arguments on Tuesday. “That’s the motive for this crime.” 
Prosecutors also argued — and the jury disagreed — that Enlow attempted to kill the man when he allegedly shot him with a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. 
Enlow’s attorney, Elizabeth Baker of Eugene, said Enlow and the shooting victim got into a scuffle in the backseat of a car at the Walmart over the weapon when the gun accidently went off and shot the man. Baker alleged that the victim was the one who brought the gun, not Enlow. 
Baker asked the jury during her closing arguments on Tuesday to consider whether prosecutors could actually prove that Enlow wasn’t trying to defend himself in the car. Enlow and the other Cottage Grove man, Corey Lee Michael Monpas, left the parking lot in a car after the shooting.
Monpas, 20, was sentenced to nearly six years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this year to second-degree assault. He admitted to having beaten the shooting victim’s friend with a stun gun during the incident.

Scene of Columbus Walmart shooting
(screencap from linked video)


(UPDATED - See below)

A privately-contracted security guard, Gerald Wheeler, was patrolling the parking lot of a Walmart in Columbus, Ohio, when he was approached by a man, 29-year-old Terrance Blake.

Blake then pulled out a handgun and shot Wheeler in the chest, then took off in Wheeler's security truck, lights still flashing.  Police quickly caught up to him and arrested him.

Wheeler is in critical condition.

From an article and news video:
Columbus police say the security guard, Gerald Wheeler, was performing his duties while working at the lot in the 3900 block of Morse Road. 
Around 1:30 a.m. officers say Wheeler, an employee of Securitas Security Services, was approached by 29-year-old Terrance Blake and shot with a .25 caliber pistol. 
Police say that's when Blake stole Wheeler's security vehicle and fled the scene. 
Officers caught up with Blake few miles away on Vindome and Argyle drives.   
Police said Blake was being charged with aggravated robbery and then transported to the Franklin County Jail. 
Investigators say they are looking at surveillance video that may have captured the shooting on camera.  
A branch manager with Securitas said that Wheeler has only been employed with the company for about four months. He is described as a good worker and a great man.
In March of 2012, there was another shooting at a Columbus Walmart (a different Walmart store) that involved a law enforcement officer shooting a shoplifter who tried to run him over.

Walmart.  Save money.  Die faster.


UPDATE (4/23/14):  The shooter, Blake, was sentenced to 12 years.  He was a felon, and was high on drugs when he committed the crime.  He doesn't know why he committed the crime.  The victim, Wheeler, was shot in a kidney but recovered.

One employee shoots another in a Wisconsin Walmart store

Occurred August 14, 2013.
Scene of shooting at Neenah Walmart (source)


(UPDATED -- see below)

An apparent dispute inside a Walmart store in Neenah, Wisconsin, turned into a shooting when one employee, Justine Boyd, pulled out a gun and shot another female employee in the torso, in the liquor department.  The victim is in critical condition.

Currently, a motive is unknown.

From an article and news video:
A shooting at a Walmart store in Neenah, Wisc. has left a 56 year old woman in critical condition. The victim, who has not bee identified, was a cashier at the liquor store.
The tragic incident took place at the liquor section of the store and reports state that the shooter was a fellow employee at Walmart. 
The shooting took place at 11 a.m. Wednesday morning and the woman was shot in the torso. 
Officers arrived at the scene of the shooting after emergency calls were made shortly after. Police Chief Kevin Wilkinson said, "We're still very concerned for the victim. We're obviously all hoping and praying for the best for her." 
The suspect, Justine Boyd, was arrested at the scene and the handgun was also recovered. Boyd has been booked on a charge of attempted first-degree intentional homicide. She was also a cashier at the liquor section.  
Wilkinson told reporters: "We're digging around trying to get that information, but so far, at least, there hasn't been a simple explanation.
Walmart.  Save money.  Die faster.


UPDATES (8/23/13):  

According to an article, the shooter, Justine Boyd, has a legal conceal carry permit, though employees of Walmart (not customers) are not allowed to carry in stores.

From an updated article and video from 8/15:
Police said today they think a personal conflict was the motive behind the shooting of a Walmart employee by her co-worker Wednesday. 
The victim, Sharon Goffard, 56, of Neenah, remains in critical condition. She suffered damage to her vital organs and needed blood transfusions that equaled three times the volume of her blood, said Dr. Ray Georgen, medical director of Theda Clark Medical Center Trauma Services, at a news conference at Theda Clark Medical Center. 
Georgen said the tentative plan is to perform additional surgery on Goffard tomorrow.
According to court documents, Boyd was jealous over the victim getting an easier position in the store.  According to an article:
“It appears to be, from all evidence I’ve seen, an isolated incident between these two regarding what looks like a dispute over positions at the Walmart,” said Scott Ceman, Winnebago County deputy district attorney. “There’s evidence that the defendant was upset that the victim got a position in the liquor store, an easier cash register.” 
The victim, Sharon Goffard, 56, of Neenah, was lying behind a counter, soaked in blood and slipping in and out of consciousness when police arrived after the shooting about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, but responded, “Justine, Justine,” when asked who had shot her.
...
When two Neenah police officers arrested Boyd inside the store, they found she had a cocked and loaded Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun in the right front pocket of her shirt. They also discovered a loaded Taurus Rossi .38 Special revolver in Boyd’s bag, as well as additional ammunition for both guns in the bag and shirt pockets. 
Boyd’s husband told investigators his wife had asked him, “How many times should you shoot someone if you want to take them down,” and he told her, “Two in the chest and one in the head.”
UPDATE (10/28/13):  After two months, the victim, Sharon Goffard, 56, has been released from the hospital.  From an article:
Sharon Goffard, 56, of Neenah, was released from Theda Clark Medical Center, where she was taken following the Aug. 14 shooting that almost killed her. Goffard’s daughter said she is doing great and will continue physical therapy at the hospital. 
Following her discharge, friends hosted a blood drive on Monday at the Oakridge Gardens Nursing Center in Menasha. .... 
Goffard was shot at close range in the abdomen and nearly bled to death, said Dr. Ray Georgen, director of Theda Clark Medical Center Trauma Services. After she arrived at the hospital, Goffard received transfusions that amounted to more than three times her blood volume.
UPDATE (12/18/13):  The shooter, Boyd, has been found mentally incompetent to stand trial, for now.  From an article:
The psychologist indicated that Boyd was likely to be legally competent within a year with psychiatric treatment.“This is just a temporary suspension until they get through whatever treatment and medications they decide she needs to bring her back up to competency,” Deputy District Attorney Scott Ceman said. “And based on what’s in the reports, they’re confident she will be found competent to proceed within the next 12 months.”

Two dead in shooting that started at California Walmart parking lot

Occurred August 2, 2013.
Where the shooting began at Porterville Walmart
(from Google Maps)



Two men died in a shooting that began in the parking lot of a Walmart in Porterville, California.

Multiple shots were fired between two groups in the parking lot.  The battle continued as the groups got into vehicles and drove off through the city, continuing to fire at each other, until one vehicle rammed another and they crashed.

From an article:
According to police, the fatal shoot out began when a man driving a white Lexus SUV came out of Office Max in the shopping center and got into a confrontation with two men in a brown GMC Yukon. Witness told of a horrifying scene where more than 10 shots were fired and then ducking for cover. (See accompanying story). 
The shooting continued as the two victims left in the Yukon, chased by the man in his vehicle. They went west on Henderson Avenue. Witnesses said the two vehicles were ramming each other as they traveled down Henderson, eventually both of them crashing. 
Witnesses also reported hearing gun shots just before the Yukon was rammed and lost control. It ended up straddling the median, facing north, on Henderson right about in front of the Vietnam War memorial and across from the basketball courts at Monache High School. 
“The guy in the white car smacked them and pushed them onto the divider,” said witness John Wilson, who said the sound of gunshots caught his attention. 
Wilson and another witness, Blake Bond, said the Lexus also spun around and the driver quickly got out and ran over to the Yukon and retrieved two backpacks. “He grabbed them and ran to his car,” said Bond. 
It was at that time a Porterville motorcycle officer who was responding to the numerous 9-1-1 calls about the Office Max shooting, caught up to the scene and arrested the Lexus driver at gun point. .... 
The back window, the driver’s side window and the front passenger side window of the Yukon all appeared to have been shot out. Bullet holes were also evident in the windshield of that vehicle, but there did not appear to be any shattered windows on the Lexus. 
Witnesses said no shots were fired once the two vehicles stopped. 
The Yukon had damage on the passenger side and the Lexus on the driver’s side from the ramming. Parts of the vehicles were left along the roadway. Dempsie agreed they had about a quarter of a mile long crime scene and it would take time to sort everything out.

Shoplifter Rios and the scene of the shooting at Conroe Walmart


(UPDATED -- see below)

As with a shooting at a Walmart two days before, a law-enforcement officer shot and killed a shoplifter at a Texas Walmart, this time in Conroe, Texas.

A 19-year old was witnessed shoplifting.  When police arrived, the shoplifter ran, and was pursued into the woods next door.  A fight ensued, and the law enforcement officer shot the shoplifter to death.

From an article:
Just before 7:30, dispatch received a call from loss prevention officers inside of the Wal-Mart located at 1407 North Loop 336 West, Sgt. Dorcy Riddle said. The employees said that they were trying to detain Rios for shoplifting but the he was not cooperating. 
Rios fought with loss prevention and ran, Riddle said. An off-duty CPD officer observed the struggle and gave chase into the adjacent wooded area near the Interstate 45 feeder road. 
The officer continued to pursue Rios into the woods on his own and Rios allegedly began fighting with the officer, Riddle said. The struggle intensified, with Rios allegedly strangling the officer to the point that he believed he was going to pass out. 
The officer fired his weapon and struck Rios, killing him, Riddle said.

In February, another Walmart shooting occurred at Conroe, perhaps at the same store, where a man shot himself to death over marital issues at the pharmacy.

Walmart.  Save money.  Die faster.



UPDATE (10/1/13):  The shooter, Officer Jason Blackwelder, has been indicted on one count of manslaughter and for tampering with records in the account of what happened that night.

UPDATE (11/27/13):  Officer Blackwelder has been indicted on manslaughter. The teen was supposedly choking Blackwelder when he was shot, but forensic analysis shows that Rios was shot in the back of the head.  From an article and video:
Conroe police initially said that Rios was fighting with Blackwelder and choking him, which implied self-defense. 
Blackwelder was indicted in September by a Montgomery County grand jury on a charge of manslaughter. 
The suit was filed in federal court in Houston. The family's attorney, Ryan MacLeod of Beaumont, says that a forensic exam shows Rios was shot in the back of the head. 
The suit is asking for unspecified damages. But most of all, the attorney says, the Rios family wants answers about the teenager's death. Rios had just gotten a part-time job as a bank teller and was a student at Lone Star College.
