We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Events like this just serve to remind us that even in familiar and possibly seemingly hospitable environments the worst crimes may occur. As a result it is necessary to stay aware of your surroundings and be prepared for what really isn't all that uncommon.

Latest update is man and woman employee got in fight. Man stabbed woman....man ran outside and stabbed himself.
Still closed.
I can see the place from my office.
So ....at what point do YOU personally intervene to save others besides yourself? I have to think that once the blade comes out and he moves to anyone with intent I pull the trigger and live with the legal consequences. I am not going to sit there and watch someone else die.
Your thoughts?

I've driven past there a few times. The area isn't bad but anywhere in Richmond, Henrico or Chesterfield fall under the suspect with me.
I don't start feeling like I'm in hospitable territory until I get to Amelia.
I wonder what the argument was about?

I know the victim from having shopped there for years....nice girl. They said that a night shift co-worker stabbed her right in the front of the store by the coffee area/bank. He then ran to the back of the store and stabbed himself.

This is the first "assault with a deadly weapon" story that I've heard of involving a knife where the assailant tried to off himself with a knife.
Usually these stories end with "and then he turned the gun on himself"--Never heard one that ended with "ad then he stabbed himself".
The world is indeed getting crazier every day...

We should ban shopping centers, and sharp things!

In such a case, do we shoot the perp since he is trying to kill someone (stabbing himself)?
