Guard dead, 2nd person hurt in robbery at Wal-Mart
A single bullet killed an armored car guard and wounded a bystander during a robbery Tuesday at a Wal-Mart store in this south Tacoma suburb, authorities said.
LAKEWOOD, Wash. —
A single bullet killed an armored car guard and wounded a bystander during a robbery Tuesday at a Wal-Mart store in this south Tacoma suburb, authorities said.
Pierce County sheriff's deputies and Lakewood police were looking for two men who reportedly grabbed a money bag from the guard and drove off after the shooting at about 1:30 p.m.
Killed was Kurt Husted, 39, a 16-year veteran of Houston-based Loomis armored cars, company spokesman Pat Flaherty said.
The injured person was a male customer shot in the shoulder while holding a child,Lakewood Police Lt. Heidi Hoffman said. The child was uninjured and the man's injury was not life-threatening, she said. The customer was not identified.
Only one shot was fired, Hoffman said.
The shooting took place outside a branch of Anchor Bank located inside the Wal-Mart, Hoffman said. Husted was shot as he was leaving the bank.
"As he was coming out of the bank, he was shot in the head," Hoffman said.
She said while the two robbers escaped with a money bag, it was not known whether it contained any cash. The men fled in a stolen car later found abandoned in Tacoma, Hoffman added.
"About two minutes after I walked in I heard the gun go off," store customer Patti O'Callahan, of nearby University Place, told The News Tribune of Tacoma. "Everybody was screaming and running all over the store. They were trying to find crevices to hide in."
She told the newspaper that store employees quickly opened the building's emergency back exits and evacuated the customers.
Another witness, Lisa Potter Maul, of University Place, said she saw a man she believes was one of the guards lying on his stomach with a pool of blood around his head.
"There was a lot of people trying to get out," Maul said. "Most were getting out the other doors. I was just freaked. I thought it was something fake."
