Woman Stabs 4 In California Target Store
This is one of those crazy things that happen so often in the US. If is not a gunman killing dozens out of the blue, it's some mental person doing something similar. Scary!
QUOTE WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - A woman who stabbed and wounded four people in a busy Target store 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.
Layla Trawick started randomly stabbing people with a blade about the size of a kitchen knife at about 12:45 p.m., Los Angeles sheriff's Sgt. Josh Mankini said. The 35-year-old Antioch woman was arrested with the help of private security guards and booked on suspicion of attempted murder.
Several shoppers who saw off-duty deputy Clay Grant pull out his weapon feared he was a gunman and began running and screaming, adding to the sense of panic, Mankini said.
"If he wasn't there, who knows? Someone would be dead right now," Mankini said. "He had no communication with outside law enforcement. He's just some guy doing his shopping. We're pretty proud of him."
Three women and a man were stabbed and taken to area hospitals, Mankini said. One of the victims was stabbed in the neck and shoulder....

You're quite correct Sleuth. There probably hundreds of people with problems in ever town of every country in the world but its a world wide problem, not enough funds get through to help these people. We see this woman stabbing innocent people and she will go to jail, but will this help her? She needs help and its help that throwing her into a jail, is not going to help. So she ends up being a lost cause. Tell me, is this right?
