News article: Menu NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After Thursday Walgreens shooting involving a pregnant woman and Walgreens employee, the family says she and her baby are both in stable condition. She had three surgeries after being shoot eight times; four times in the stomach and two times in each leg. Her baby is in the NICU, only weighs two pounds. On Thursday a woman was in critical condition and required an emergency C-Section birth after she was shot by a Walgreens employee who was maced Wednesday night during a confrontation over reportedly stolen items. Homicide Unit detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department are investigating the shooting, which happened outside of a Walgreens store in the 2500 block of Gallatin Avenue just before 8 p.m. The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying. Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store. Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police. Ferguson was transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. Ferguson was pregnant at the time of the shooting, so an emergency C-Section had to be performed. The infant was not injured by the gunshots. Both Ferguson and her baby are in critical but stable condition, says Metro police. Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone. Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges. Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores. We take this matter seriously and are cooperating with local authorities." User comment:

>Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. Did he think he was in a turn based RPG and the bad guys were casting a blind debuff first before hitting him with the DPS? Mother fucker if they really did have a gun that they intended to use before u started blasting, they wouldn't have bothered macing you first.

Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store. Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police. Ferguson was transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. Ferguson was pregnant at the time of the shooting, so an emergency C-Section had to be performed. The infant was not injured by the gunshots. Both Ferguson and her baby are in critical but stable condition, says Metro police. Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone. Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges. Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores. We take this matter seriously and are cooperating with local authorities." User comment:

News article: Menu NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After Thursday Walgreens shooting involving a pregnant woman and Walgreens employee, the family says she and her baby are both in stable condition. She had three surgeries after being shoot eight times; four times in the stomach and two times in each leg. Her baby is in the NICU, only weighs two pounds. On Thursday a woman was in critical condition and required an emergency C-Section birth after she was shot by a Walgreens employee who was maced Wednesday night during a confrontation over reportedly stolen items. Homicide Unit detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department are investigating the shooting, which happened outside of a Walgreens store in the 2500 block of Gallatin Avenue just before 8 p.m. The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying. Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store.

Justified, License plate, Mace, Blind, Engage
Everyone acted like an idiot but I'm surprised at how much more justified he seemed in the context. It sounds like he was trying to get her license plate on camera and that's when she maced him and he fired at her while blinded. Again, everyone sounds dumb here but he might get away with this and I'm not sure I'm that mad about it. He wasn't exactly trying to be a hero like some other commenters have said and he may not have meant to directly engage her. Sounds like he was following her just to film

Pitchforks, Legality, Responsibility, Pregnancy, Assault
I had my pitchforks out, but I don't blame the employee for shooting after being maced for doing the right thing. I don't know the legality of him having a gun on himself as employee during working hours, and if it's not then he should be held responsible for that. Regardless, being pregnant is not a free pass to steal and especially not to assault other people.

Probably should have just documented the individuals and car make/model and tag and left it at that. Instead he harassed the women to the point of escalating it to making them feel the need to mace him. Doesn't make any of it right but I don't see him getting a self defense ruling... Especially since he was blindly firing a weapon while maced...

News article: Menu NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After Thursday Walgreens shooting involving a pregnant woman and Walgreens employee, the family says she and her baby are both in stable condition. She had three surgeries after being shoot eight times; four times in the stomach and two times in each leg. Her baby is in the NICU, only weighs two pounds. On Thursday a woman was in critical condition and required an emergency C-Section birth after she was shot by a Walgreens employee who was maced Wednesday night during a confrontation over reportedly stolen items. Homicide Unit detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department are investigating the shooting, which happened outside of a Walgreens store in the 2500 block of Gallatin Avenue just before 8 p.m. The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying. Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed.

Idiot, Money, Evidence, Confrontation
I'm sorry, but what a freaking idiot. Managers and employees, it's NOT your money. Just let it go. It's not worth the risk of escalating things to a confrontation, not for you, not for your employees, and not even for the *ALLEGED* perpetrators, especially if you had no hard evidence of actual wrongdoing like Drug Store Punisher here.

Law, Employee, Fear, Argument, Security guard, Shooter, DA, Case
The way the law works in these states, the employee will most likely be able to effectively argue he feared for his life. This is similar to a successful argument by a security guard who shot & killed an alt-right protestor in Denver in 2020 after the "patriot" deployed bear spray before being shot dead. In the end, the DA dropped that case saying they could not disprove the shooter feared for his life.

Congress, Rittenhouse Rule, Open carry, Escalation, Firearms
Congress needs to create the Rittenhouse Rule: Make open carry, brandishing, discharging a firearm a crime for a person who has entered into a situation that is known to have the potential to escalate. No more confronting people and playing the “I was afraid they had a weapon/ in fear for my life” card as an excuse to shoot them. Firearm carry classes regularly discuss not escalating situations while armed - time to put that into law.

Walgreens, Fired, Charged, Shoplifting, Guns
Walgreens isn’t going to stand behind him for doing that. The reason: they aren’t paying him to be an armed security guard. Dumbass is about to get fired and possibly charged with attempted second degree murder x2 over what, some Twinkie’s and potato chips? I own guns and I’m a strong advocate for people to own them responsibly. But I’m not an advocate for shooting someone over something stupid like shoplifting.

Walgreens, Fire, Shoplifting, Corporate Policy, Firearms
As a former Walgreens Store Manager, Walgreens is going to fire that employee and do everything they can to wash their hands of it. Something may have changed but when I left Walgreens Corporate was basically to the point of not even acknowledging shoplifters. We were told to not even call the cops until they leave, weren’t even aloud to go outside to get a description of the car or plate number. About all we could do was offer them a cart or basket to put their stuff in and basically the “kill them with kindness” approach. Carrying firearms or weapons was huge no no and even just carrying during the shift would get you fired. We were told don’t even have firearms on Walgreens property, period. Now as far as what the state is going to do I have no idea, but Walgreens is going to try and get as far away from it as possible.

Homicide Unit detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department are investigating the shooting, which happened outside of a Walgreens store in the 2500 block of Gallatin Avenue just before 8 p.m. The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying. Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store. Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police. Ferguson was transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. Ferguson was pregnant at the time of the shooting, so an emergency C-Section had to be performed. The infant was not injured by the gunshots. Both Ferguson and her baby are in critical but stable condition, says Metro police. Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone. Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges. Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores.

I mean the headline leaves out that they maced him. Was he supposed to just wait around for them to get in the car and run him over when he couldn't see? He should have just gotten the plate number and called the cops. But they shouldn't have been violent cunts who made him fear for his life.

The Walgreens employee should've just called the police and reported them. Take a picture of their license plate if he really felt the need to and add it to a police report with surveillance footage.

Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store. Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police. Ferguson was transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. Ferguson was pregnant at the time of the shooting, so an emergency C-Section had to be performed. The infant was not injured by the gunshots. Both Ferguson and her baby are in critical but stable condition, says Metro police. Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone. Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges. Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores. We take this matter seriously and are cooperating with local authorities." User comment:

Former employee, Stealing, Policy, Armed, Reputation
Former Walgreens employee. First day on the job told if someone is stealing something, as soon as they exit the door you are forbidden from giving chase because you never know if an accomplice is outside with a gun. Also, not sure what Walgreens policy is for employees being armed, but, I imagine, they forbid it so something like the article doesn't happen and Walgreens is held liable. Even if the employee is liable, the news story alone gives Walgreens a bad reputation.

Retail, Shoplifting, Defense, Minimum wage, Testify
Many years ago, I had a job in retail and watched more than a dozen shoplifters take merchandise out of the store. I was told that we were the "first line of defense for pilferage," but there was no way that I was going to catch a thief on behalf of the rich owners. Furthermore, I wasn't going to be paid minimum wage to go to court and testify against a shoplifter and take a chance on them or their friends talking retribution on me

Why do we seem to think that shoplifting deserves being shot? Being robbed violently is completely different because you're protecting yourself but you're not protecting yourself from someone fleeing a store with merchandise like a jackass. You call the fucking police and you give them the tapes. We escalate things so much in this country with guns and it's so sickening that everyone comes up with a reason for using them now.

Imagine trying to kill someone in the name of your minimum wage job for a multibillion dollar company who we all know doesn’t give a shit about you.
News article: Markets Hot Stocks Fear & Greed Index Latest Market News Hot Stocks Tesla CEO Elon Musk has wrapped up his first trip to China in three years, after meeting a string of government officials and thanking workers at the company’s mega factory in Shanghai. Musk’s private jet took off from Shanghai’s Hongqiao airport on Thursday, capping a whirlwind 48-hour trip by the billionaire, according to Variflight, a Chinese flight data app. It was the first time Musk has visited the country since January 2020, when a video of him dancing onstage at Tesla’s Shanghai factory went viral. Before leaving, Musk met Chen Jining, the Communist Party chief of Shanghai, according to a statement by the city government. Chen encouraged Tesla (TSLA) to boost its investment and operations in Shanghai and “bring more new products, new technologies and new services” to the city. Tesla is opening a Megafactory for huge batteries in China Musk praised the success of Tesla’s Shanghai facility — which opened in 2019 — and said he was hoping to work more with the city in various areas, the statement said. He visited the Gigafactory late Wednesday, after arriving from Beijing. (Variflight showed his jet arrived in Shanghai at 9:26 pm on Wednesday.) “Thank you for being here late at night,” he said in a speech in front of a massive crowd of workers, according to a video released on social media by Tesla China. “I would very much like to congratulate you on the amazing work that you have done,” Musk said. “It’s been incredibly impressive how you have been able to overcome so many difficulties and so many challenges.” “I just want to let you know, it warms my heart,” Musk said, making a fist pump after tapping his chest. His words were met with applause and cheers. Musk then made a “heart” sign with his hands, saying: “I tell people throughout the world, the cars we produce here are not just the most efficient production, but also the highest quality.” The Shanghai Gigafactory is Tesla’s biggest car manufacturing plant outside the United States. In 2022, the company delivered 1.31 million vehicles globally, more than half of which were from Shanghai, according to its financial results. In May 2022, Musk touted the work ethic of Chinese employees, praising them burning “the 3 a.m. oil” in an interview with the Financial Times. At the time, Shanghai was in the midst of a two-month Covid lockdown. Just six months later, in November, the Shanghai factory set a fresh monthly delivery record of more than 100,000 vehicles. All this was achieved after Covid restrictions caused the plant to temporarily suspend production. Musk arrived in Beijing on Tuesday, starting his trip by meeting the country’s foreign minister Qin Gang, according to a statement by the ministry. He then met with the country’s tech and commerce ministers separately, discussing matters related to electric vehicles, connected cars, US-China relations and Tesla’s development in China, according to government releases. The owner of Twitter, which is blocked in China, didn’t send any tweets during the trip. But he published posts on both Twitter and on Weibo, China’s equivalent, shortly after the visit. “Congratulations to Giga Shanghai & Tesla China SDS teams for their excellent work overcoming many obstacles over many years!! ” Musk said separately on his Twitter and Weibo accounts on Friday. He also reportedly met with Zeng Yuqun, chairman and founder of CATL, a Chinese EV battery manufacturer and a Tesla supplier, according to an image published by the Paper.cn and widely circulated on social media.

Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store. Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police. Ferguson was transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment. Ferguson was pregnant at the time of the shooting, so an emergency C-Section had to be performed. The infant was not injured by the gunshots. Both Ferguson and her baby are in critical but stable condition, says Metro police. Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone. Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges. Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores. We take this matter seriously and are cooperating with local authorities." User comment:

Shoplifters, Deserved, Macing, Assault, Filming
Why is nobody talking about how shoplifters are trash people and probably got what they deserved. The person didn't care about saving money for Walgreens so much as he believed stealing is wrong and was disgusted by the idea that they would drive away and get away with it. Macing him was assault and warranted a response. He had a right to film them.

I used to work at a certain organic grocery store chain. We were told in our training to never apprehend or approach shoplifters. It’s never worth it. That employee is an idiot.

Walgreens, Shooting, Worth
Ain't nothing at Walgreens worth shooting someone over. Even if they had the whole store in a sack, that's a fucking write-off.
News article: Menu NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After Thursday Walgreens shooting involving a pregnant woman and Walgreens employee, the family says she and her baby are both in stable condition. She had three surgeries after being shoot eight times; four times in the stomach and two times in each leg. Her baby is in the NICU, only weighs two pounds. On Thursday a woman was in critical condition and required an emergency C-Section birth after she was shot by a Walgreens employee who was maced Wednesday night during a confrontation over reportedly stolen items. Homicide Unit detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department are investigating the shooting, which happened outside of a Walgreens store in the 2500 block of Gallatin Avenue just before 8 p.m. The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying. Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him. Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed. The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store. Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police.

Mr. Self-Proclaimed-‘Hero’ should have kept his ass and his gun in the store. Stand Your Ground doesn’t cover Chase Them Down scenarios. 4 shots to the stomach? Sounds like a hate crime to me.

Employee, Gun, Brainwashing, Country
Fuck this employee in particular. No one should feel like they have to kill for their employer, period. Bringing a gun to work to protect your place of employment in the first place is psychotic. That all said, the real issue is the decades of brainwashing telling people to cherish their jobs and things over human life. We are such a fucked up country.

Lawsuit, Corporate policy, Legal trouble, Pregnant employee, Race, Attorney
Smell a lawsuit a mile away. If it's like any corporate policy in retail...Walgreens is f'd. Doesn't matter. Policy is usually to not pursue the robber as to put others in danger. Corporate policy makes it so the shooter is legally liable if they decide to take upon themselves to apprehend. Too many lawsuits , especially the infamous Walmart ones, made this policy industry wide. He is in legal trouble. And they were pregnant on top of that. This employee is fucked. Bad decision, bad judgement and he will go to jail. Plus be sued by the pregnant woman's family. Plus add race to this and Ben Crump and his legal team will be there to make sure the employee pays along with Walgreens. This is the only way this ends up Edit: and above all in Tennessee..oh this is going to be good.

Violence, Retail, Mental state, Theft, Protection
On the one hand, he shouldn’t have followed her out to her car. He’s fucked and deserves to be. On the other hand, retail employees do deal with violent irrational members of the public on a daily basis, and that absolutely takes a toll on mental state- especially when bad enough losses from theft can get you fired, that happened to my old boss. When I worked register, there were many many times I wished I could carry. Not to protect company property, but to protect my own life.

In fear because maybe, mighta, had a gun? That's the standard now? She pulled out mace. If she had a gun. She would guidance pulled that first. The punishment for shoplifting is not execution or sacrificing your child. This is attempted murder (murder if the baby dies given the rights granted to the unborn now. Heck, this baby is both unborn and born as a victim of this crime.)
