Brawl at Express Checkout Leaves Two Dead

Muttered accusation of item limit violation may have prompted attack


The self-scan station at Schuncks in Webster Groves where a 67-year-old man was strangled to death. The assailant, 51-year-old Judith Caldwell, was shot dead by store security. Police records indicate Caldwell was attempting to purchase 14 items; two over express checkout's limit of 12.

    I saw this on ch. 4. Very sad. Not defending her axons but did they really have to shoot the woman?

    I believe he did the right thing...probably not the first time he's tried that nonsense.

    I get people breathing down my neck all the time at those self-scan things. Notice them out of the corner of my eye, watching my every move, counting my items, judging me as a person. Lots of sighing and fidgeting and muttering (like the guy who was killed), trying to intimidate and rush. Not surprised the woman went after him.

    Perfectly justifiable in my book. Murder rap? How about a medal! You go girl!
