Police: Shoplifter kills Wal-Mart security employee, then self



NBC News  A man who tried to steal undershirts valued at $16 from a Wal-Mart in Margate, Fla., shot and killed a loss prevention employee there Friday evening, police said.

Lewis Jhon, 49, of Coral Springs, was pronounced dead at North Broward Medical Center after the shooting at about 7:15 p.m., Margate Police Lt. Andy Zettek said.

Hollywood resident Terrell Kennith Johnson, 22, was identified as the subject. He fled on foot, and police said they later found what they believed to be his body, which appeared to have a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Zettek said.

Johnson was found on the 500 block of NW 51st Avenue, he said.

The incident began when Johnson tried to steal packages of white undershirts at the Wal-Mart at 555 W. Atlantic Blvd in Margate, Zettek said. Jhon detained him, and at some point Johnson shot Jhon near the front entrance of the store, Zettek said.

“Everybody was scared that something was going to happen to them,” witness Edward Jorgenson said of when people heard the gunshots in the store.

A woman was also taken into custody but her involvement in the incident is unknown.

After the shooting, police from Sunrise, Margate, Coconut Creek and Plantation converged on the scene, and a helicopter flew in the area searching for the suspect.

    So let me get this straight.

    This person took a gun into a Walmart to steal $16 worth of t-shirts, and then killed this employee for trying to detain him? And then they found the perp later on, already dead?

    Something really reeks about this story, I’m DEFINITELY NOT taking it at face value.

    Something is seriously wrong here.

    Stealing undershirts and then shooting the security guard only to kill himself? Who the hell would do that? This sounds like a government false flag narrative. Oh wait! I’m not suppose to say that. That would be silly talk.

    I mean come on. If they are going to do the narrative right, at least have him try and steal a hard drive or a USB drive that he could use to save a computer virus (possibly stuxnet) in order to give to Al-Qaieda. I mean, undershirts? Really? That’s the best narrative. If you are going to go that low, why didn’t you just have him steal toilet paper, instead? Al-Qaieda in the Middle East probably needs more of that than undershirts. You can only use your left hand so many times, ya know. This is absolutely the dumbest incident I have read in a long time. Good post though, Clark. Gives us something to talk about. LOL

    You know, I was just saying to myself today that with all of these Walmart incidents lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if they started hiring TSA for their security. I mean they can’t afford to hire employees but they could probably afford to hire TSA which makes absolutely no sense, especially since they do background checks and assessments on everyone before you even get an interview, in which case, TSA will probably be exempt from all of those stupid procedures that they make applicants go through when it is the TSA that needs those checks and assessments the most. Walmart truly is Chinamart. Everything they do is truly Chinese style procedure. Disgusting. I’m in a ranting mood today. Don’t mind me. lol
