About a month ago Walmart in Beavercreek had a traumatic month. First, there was a fire in the crafts & show area made by two juveniles. They fixed everything inside and reopened within a couple of days. A few weeks after the fire there was a shooting at the same Walmart injuring three women and a man before killing himself. This is the second shooting in 24 hours to take place at a store operated by the retail giant. Authorities declined to release the identities of the victims, including their races, saying they had not ruled out that the attack was racially motivated. Walmart said it was working closely with investigators to try to determine why the shooter, identified as 20-year-old Benjamin Charles Jones, of Dayton, opened fire. Police said Jones entered the store at about 8:30 p.m. Monday wielding a Hi-Point 45-caliber Carbine long gun. He shot an undetermined number of rounds, leaving injured victims throughout the building, before turning the weapon on himself, authorities said. The shooting happened almost exactly one day after a man shot and killed a woman before fatally shooting himself outside a Walmart in Anchorage, Alaska. I asked student David Hoy how the experience was as he was leaving the store right before the sound of a gunshot went off. This is what he had to say: “It seemed like a normal day when I was sent out to get groceries, obviously it wasn’t. When I heard the gunshot, everything in my head told me to run, but my legs wouldn’t let me move. Eventually, I was able to run out, but that shot will be stuck in my head forever. I truly got lucky leaving right as the shooter got there. It makes you grateful for the people and things you have.” This event is something you would never want anyone to go through. It leaves wounds in your mind that you won’t be able to forget.
