August 26, 200521 yr ALBUQUERQUE -- One person was shot and killed and another stabbed inside a Wal Mart store in southeast Albuquerque on Thursday evening. It all happened around 5:30 p.m. at the store on San Mateo near Zuni. There was mayhem and confusion inside a southeast Albuquerque Wal Mart as employees and shoppers were sent fleeing by the sound of gunfire. A co-worker says a Wal Mart employee working in the deli was attacked by her ex-husband with a knife. While the SWAT team surrounded Wal Mart, a woman was brought out on a stretcher. She is now in stable condition at UNM hospital. ?She was telling me she was scared of him,? says Wal Mart employee Billie Jo Chavez. ?But we never thought he'd come here and do this to her?. Police won't confirm what happened next, but witnesses say a customer armed with a gun tried to stop the stabbing. Witnesses say the customer jumped the counter and shot the attacker multiple times, killing him. Police say one person is in custody, but aren't saying if that person is the shooter. Police say they will release the names of everyone involved on Friday morning. At that time they also plan to address whether or not the shooting was justified http://www.krqe.com/expanded.asp?ID=11737
