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.
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.
“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.”
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.
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.”.
Jennifer Rondeau-Wilbur, 33, of La Crosse also will serve two years on probation.
According to court records, the victim exited the Walmart in Onalaska on the night of Feb. 6, 20120 to discover her tire was flat; her passenger, Rondeau-Wilbur, told her a friend would fix the tire in exchange for a ride.
That man, Jacob Foley, later choked the driver, demanded money and threatened to shoot Rondeau-Wilbur while Kyle Wedekind broke the car window and threatened the driver with a knife, according to complaints.
Keri Basham, who admitted driving a vehicle for Wedekind, was charged with robbery with use of force as a party to the crime. Rondeau-Wilbur was charged with the same crime on Thursday but pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
Foley was charged with armed robbery, Wedekind with robbery with use of force.
At the time of the crime, Rondeau-Wilbur was dating Wedekind, who her attorney called manipulating and controlling.
Probation will allow Rondeau-Wilbur, who apologized for her role in the robbery, to undergo drug treatment.
Wauwatosa police are looking for two people who robbed the Walmart Neighborhood Market near 124th Street and Capitol Drive early Friday and got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Two armed individuals, who were wearing all black, entered the store at 3850 N. 124th St. at 2:50 a.m., police said. The robbers, who police believe are male, took the money and left in a vehicle.
Three Milwaukee men are in custody in the armed robbery early Friday morning of the Walmart Market in Wauwatosa, according to police reports.
Two of the men are accused of driving to the door of the store and carrying out the holdup while the other waited with a backup vehicle. After the robbery, they swapped cars and transferred their guns and other evidence from one to the other, to "throw off police," one of them confessed.
The robbery was something of an inside job, according to the suspects' statements.
Two of the suspects, one 20 and one 26 years old, were discussing robbing a bank or business Thursday night. The third man, 23, told them that he could plan and take part in a robbery of the Walmart at 3850 N. 124thSt., because he knew the place well. He had been fired from his job there a week before.
He drew a map of the interior and told them about the store's policies on storing money. He and one of the others donned all black clothing and took two guns, one a loaded pistol and the other a short rifle. ...
Several said that they believed the rifle one carried was in fact a BB gun, and the 18-year-old felt certain of it, saying he was close enough he could see BB's in the magazine of what he told police was an AK-47 lookalike..
