Worker was upset because she was handing out samples of a product the store didn\u2019t have in stock<\/p>\n
Adan Salazar<\/strong> A woman handing out samples of pizza at a Costco Wholesale store in Virginia was first Tasered then shot to death by police after she allegedly rushed officers wielding a knife and scissors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Store employees said 38-year-old Mhai Scott, a worker for Costco contractor Club Demonstration Services, was \u201cacting oddly\u201d and \u201cstarted saying crazy things,\u201d frightening her boss and co-workers.<\/p>\n \u201cWitnesses said she seemed upset about the pizza she was handing out and was waving a knife and scissors, threatening employees,\u201d reported NBC Washington<\/a>. \u201cDeputies were called to the store to handle the disturbance.\u201d<\/p>\n When police arrived around 3 p.m., Scott ran at them carrying a knife and scissors, to which they responded by shocking her with a Taser, but that apparently \u201cdid not work.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOne officer tried to use a stun gun on Scott, but [Loudoun County Sheriff Mike] Chapman said the stun gun \u2018did not work\u2019 and one of the deputies fatally shot her,\u201d reports NBC.<\/p>\n After hearing five shots from the food court, store employee Nora Lateef said she heard police saying, \u201ceverybody out of the store! Out of the store!\u201d<\/p>\n A sheriff\u2019s deputy was also wounded in the leg during the one-sided altercation, but police are refusing to say exactly how that happened. The deceased attacker reportedly did not have a gun, leading to speculation that his injury was the result of a bullet ricochet.<\/p>\n One of the store\u2019s manager says Scott was reportedly, \u201cmaking strange comments about the pizza she was serving,\u201d but Lateef says Scott was upset because she was handing out samples of a product the store didn\u2019t have in stock.<\/p>\n NBC reporter Shomari Stone correctly summarized the questions needing to be asked at this point: Why didn\u2019t the Taser \u201cwork\u201d? And, most importantly, why were the officers firing guns in a crowded store?<\/p>\n Don\u2019t hold your breath for answers.<\/p>\n <!– <\/p>\n –><\/p>\n This article was posted: Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 11:04 am<\/p>\n Tags: police state<\/a><\/p>\n
