numSlides of totalImag [/align] "A Bay Area woman who stabbed and wounded four people in a busy Southern California Target store on Monday afternoon was arrested when an off-duty sheriff's deputy pulled his gun and ordered the woman to the ground as screaming shoppers ran from the building, authorities said.
The deputy said he pursued Layla Rosetta Trawick, of Antioch, who was wielding two large knives through a West Hollywood Target store, before he arrested her on suspicion of attempted murder. She was being held on $1 million bail.
The 34-year-old Trawick started randomly stabbing people with two blades - a butcher's knife and a carving knife - about 12:45 p.m., according to witnesses.
"She was literally walking up and down the aisles slashing people," explained Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore, who said Trawick was using both blades at the same time - one in each hand, like in the movie "Psycho."
While off-duty sheriff's Deputy Clay Grant Jr. was picking up paper towels and other items in the store, he said he saw Trawick, grabbed his duty weapon and ordered her to drop the knives; she then ran away and he chased her through the store.
Grant - wearing a white T-shirt, camouflage shorts and running shoes - said he followed Trawick from aisle to aisle, until she turned and waved the knives at him from above her head.
But he decided not to shoot because he didn't feel his life was in jeopardy, he said. For a second time, he ordered her to drop the knives and finally she complied."
