On Nov. 19, Dallas Police units were called to the scene of a shooting at the Walmart off Forest Lane around 3:25 p.m. In the lot, police found two individuals had been shot by a 23-year-old male<\/a>. While the shooter died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds at the scene, the two victims, who were not identified by police at the time, were transported to a local hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Identified as one of the victims in a recent NBC 5 interview, Kyra Stubbs told the outlet the shooter, who she had not previously known, approached her with a gun as she returned to her car. Fearing a robbery, she pushed her shopping cart forward, which led the man to begin shooting, she said in the interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pushed the cart thinking that he wanted my purse because I thought he was there to rob me, and as soon as I pushed the cart, he pointed the gun toward me and started shooting,\u201d she told NBC 5.<\/p>\n

Telling NBC her first instinct was to grab a gun, Stubbs said the shooter continued to fire the gun, injuring her in the arm. Stubbs was shot seven times in total, with four of the shots hitting her arm, she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Stubbs said she ran for cover and received assistance from a passerby while waiting for first responders. Her injuries, according to NBC 5, include nerve damage, fractured bones and internal injuries, with the recovery process expected to last about a year.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe has been started to help Stubbs cover costs while out of work. In the interview, Cole McNiel, Stubbs\u2019 attorney, told NBC 5 that Walmart could have provided more security at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a high-crime area, so they have to put up safeguards to make sure that things like this don\u2019t happen, that there aren\u2019t individuals with guns in their parking lot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety and security of our associates is a top priority\u2026 This store does have a parking lot patrol outside and a uniformed police officer on-site, open to close. Parking lot patrol has been initiated since 2021,\u201d a statement from Walmart to NBC 5 said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman injured in last month\u2019s shooting in the Walmart parking lot off Forest Lane recently opened up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[160,162,161],"class_list":{"0":"post-92077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-plano","9":"tag-plano-headlines","10":"tag-plano-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
