    At least one adult and one child shot from what I have seen. I also saw a report that at least one suspect was in custody.

    I don’t know anything more about this than what is stated above.

    What I do know is this- I am in my 20th year of practicing law in NWI and over the years, I and numerous of my colleagues have worked on civil cases that involve criminal activity at that Wal Mart many, many times. When I was brand new, it was a shoplifter who then hung himself at the Hobart City jail. Since then, several cases involving muggings, “excessive force” during arrests, robberies, etc., etc., etc. Now, that’s just the cases that exult in a civil unit. I imagine that is well under 2% of the criminal activity going on.

    That being said, it’s like everywhere where this stuff goes on- I’ve gone there numerous times during the daylight hours and I’ve never perceived anything amiss. But when the sun goes down on a weekend....
