Re: Shooting at West Hempstead Stop and Shop
Can't have even one day without a shooting somewhere in this country. It's really sad.

Re: Shooting at West Hempstead Stop and Shop
That's where I shop- it's a couple blocks from my mom's house. She's home with the doors locked. I wonder what happened- some are saying disgruntled employee, others bank robbery? I just don't think that seems likely.

I go there too all the time. 5th pct is saying 6' black male. Has not been captured yet. One article said he fled on a bus.
Someone else posted that it was the shopping cart guy. I see him all the time. He seemed nice, smiled, said hi.
All schools are on lockdown.
ETA: He went to the office to shoot people, not a bank robbery.

Sad that people automatically assume because he's a black employee without knowing anything.

No, I know the suspect was black but sad that this employee gets accused by the public with only that little bit of information.

They are saying the shooting happened on the 2nd floor in the managers office.
So maybe it was a disgruntled ex employee who came back for revenge?
So scary

Shooting at West Hempstead Stop and Shop
The sad part about this is that I didn't even blink an eye when I heard. I got a text and email from my daughter's school saying that the school is on lockout due to police activity. I was like "oh, OK. Whatever." We've just become used to this!

Re: Shooting at West Hempstead Stop and Shop
I’m glad they caught him before he hurt anyone else. Doesn't seem like a random attack so far (why does that make me feel better??) another psycho running around killing people. Just another day
My friend teaches at the high school. Was in lockout all day. Kids were very good about it. And that horrifies me too. They train for this stuff

From PIX11:
Wilson has a small criminal background and was treated once for a mental health illness in Nassau County, according to police.
Hopefully they find out the motive.

He was upset because his hours were reduced.

So your hours are reduced so you go and shoot the place up. Seems reasonable.
Scary as shit what goes through people's minds.

Oh wow where did they say that? I can’t find it anywhere what his motive was. Crazy.

Now they are saying it was a cart collector and he was currently employed there. So maybe it was him?
