On August 12th, 2025, at 11:47 AM, a dispute between a cashier and a customer led to a stabbing that killed not only the cashier, but a Sheriff's Deputy aswell.
The Dispute
The motivation for the stabbing was a small dispute between a cashier and a customer, just because Chris did not have enough cash to buy the items.
He then attempted to exit with the items, without paying for them, however, the cashier prevented him from doing this, and unintentionally aggravated Chris to the point where he pulled a knife.

At 11:47, Deputy Joann Webb arrived at the store, and attempted to de-escalate the situation.
Dep. Webb - "Hey! Sir! I need you to put the knife down, alright?"
Chris - "Why should I?"
Dep. Webb - "Because its considered threatening and makes other people think that you're about to stab them."
Chris - "Well that's what I plan to do"
Dep. Webb - "Just put it down for me, alright?"
Chris - "No way! You're all gonna die!"
