A drug deal was going down in a WalMart parking lot. Some of the participants were not happy with the deal. They could not use the criminal justice system, so they used guns. Shots were exchanged between occupants of two cars in the lot. The WalMart parking lot was not in New York or New Jersey. This WalMart was in Augusta, Maine, and in Maine, responsible and honest people can legally carry guns. Two honest and responsible gun carriers stopped the shooting.
The shooting in the Maine WalMart was between New York residents, and it involved Heroin. The four parties arrested were named in an article by centralmaine.com. There was no mention of the responsibly armed people who stopped the shoot out and defused the situation. The suspected drug deal and shootout participants were:
Kwiesha “Reggie” McBride of Harlem, New York. Charged with Reckless Conduct with a firearm
Frankie Dejesus of Rochester, N.Y. Charged with Aggravated Assault
Diana Davis of Rochester, N.Y. Charged with Aggravated assault
Samantha Tupper is the blond local woman from Augusta, ME. She is charged with a probation violation.
