West Hollywood, CA- A woman at Target was running around the cosmetic section, dual-wielding knives, randomly stabbing shoppers. Layla Trawick, 34, had stabbed four people, including a woman holding a baby.
Off duty deputy Clay Grant, Jr. ran towards the sounds of screaming shoppers and identified himself to Trawick, armed with his firearm. Layla took off running and Grant persued. Finally, Trawick dropped her knives and Grant was able to place handcuffs on her.
The woman holding the baby was stabbed in the neck, but will survive. The other four victims will survive too. According to bystanders, Trawick was screaming at the top of her voice...something about a witness protection program. Officials also said that Grant's off duty clothes, which included camoflauged pants, caused some shoppers to think Grant was the shooter.
Trawick is held on $1 Million bail; investigators are trying to figure out if she got the knives at the store.
Crazy.
