charisstomaWoman pulls out gun in Walmart during row over last notebook

A woman is facing criminal charges after pulling a gun on two other women in a row over a school notebook.
The argument, captured on video filmed by a bystander, broke out between two pairs of women over the last notebook at a 'Back to School' sale at the Walmart in Detroit, Michigan.
The fight between the women – two aged 46 and 32 and a mother and daughter aged 51 and 20 – reportedly began when the 20-year-old reached for the last notebook on the shelf at the same time as one of the other two women.
The argument then escalated as the first two women started pulling the younger girl’s hair. Her mother then pulled out a gun to protect her daughter, local police said.
Local police officer Detective Scott Baetens told Fox News Detroit: "One girl was going to buy a notebook. There was one left, some pushing resulted.
"They began to argue who was the rightful purchaser of that notebook.
"She pulled out her firearm and tells them to stop attacking her daughter while pointing the gun at them."
Other customers then began to flee and police were called.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to the “senseless act of violence” and all four women are facing charge.
Prosecutors are still trying to determine whether the woman who pulled the gun, who is a licensed gun owner, was truly acting in self defence to determine what charges to press.
Det Baetens said: “A simple assault could be just a local ordinance, a 90-day misdemeanor.
“All the way up to felonious assault with a firearm, which is a felony.”
He said the gun was loaded but that there was no round in the chamber and no one was hurt.
It is unclear who got the notebook.

Because of the Hurricane knocking out the oil refineries on the Texas gulf coast, someone put 2 and 2 together and started a gas panic.
Lines of cars at the stations and gas pumps going empty. It was bizarre.
One of the teachers said one man came in with garbage cans to fill up with gas. This is illegal of course. Gasoline containers have to conform to set requirements. Being colored red is one of those. They had to call the local police to come because he was forcefully determined to fill those containers up.
As it is, the stations are back up and running. They were replenished by the next day. The gas panic caused the shortage.

Nurse screams for help as she is arrested for saying she can't draw blood from unconscious patient

A nurse was allegedly assaulted and illegally arrested when she told a detective she could not take a blood sample from an unconscious patient.
Alex Wubbels told a police officer she could not take blood from the victim of a lorry crash because he could not consent, and the officer had produced no warrant.
Footage taken by University Hospital, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Detective Jeff Payne's body camera show he threatened Ms Wubbels with jail if she did not comply, despite her having checked the policy with her bosses, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
As Ms Wubbels, a former Winter Olympian, is dragged from the hospital to a police patrol car, she can be heard to scream: "Help! Help! Somebody help me! Stop! Stop! I did nothing wrong!"
In the end she was not charged but told the paper: "It hurts to relive it."
University Hospital's policy states blood cannot be drawn from an unconscious patient unless they have been arrested, a warrant for the procedure is granted, or the patient consents, the Tribune reported.
Detective Payne cited a now-outdated "implied consent" law to make his case, it said.
Ms Wubbels' lawyer told the paper she had not filed a lawsuit, but that following discussions with Salt Lake City police, she believed the department would now educate its officers.
Salt Lake City police told the Tribune they were investigating the incident, but that Detective Payne remained on duty.
It has provided training for other officers following Ms Wubbels' arrest.
