The assailant was attempting to stab people in the parking lot of the Family Dollar Store according to several witness.
Unfortunately for the assailant, the last man he tried to attack (and some witnesses say did stab), was an armed concealed carry permit holder, who was in his car with his two step-daughters.
After the assailant lunged at the man with the knife, the armed step-father opened fire and killed the knife wielding assailant.
According to reports, investigators do not consider this murder.
Witnesses- and there apparently were many- are all saying the father of two acted in self defense.
According to a call I placed this morning to the Family Dollar Store involved, the store does NOT have any "concealed carry restriction" sign or "no firearms" sign.
I have also placed a call to the Memphis Police Press Office to find out if the shooter has been charged with anything, or will be charged with anything. There has been no reply as of the time of this posting (the Press Officer was in a meeting), but I will post the reply when I get it.
