A 27-year-old mother of two has been fatally shot by an off-duty sheriff's deputy after he suspected her of shoplifting at a Houston Walmart.

Harris County Sheriff's deputies have said that victim Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig were stealing when they were confronted by Louis Campbell a 26-year veteran of the force who works as a security guard at the store.

According to Campbell the women ran to their car and when he rushed to open the door, they accelerated away - at which point he fired the deadly shot into the car which hit Frey in the neck.

Tragically, Frey wasn't even supposed to be at a Walmart that evening.

Earlier in the year she pleaded guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and as part of her plea arrangement she agreed to never enter Walmart stores again.

The security guy also used to have a little fun—record on one of the cameras and hit pause, then the shoppers would move away. Play it back and it was liked Bewitched...people suddenly disappearing

And there you have the IQ of your average LEO.

Hell, I think making bad choices often result in bad things happening. For that I get called a damnable Islamist? What is going on here.

Anybody remember when Woolworth used to have lunch counters and you could pick a balloon and pop it to get the price of the ice cream sundae you bought ?

You're old man!

(Yes, I remember.)

he he! One of my favorite movies of all time! Oh Brother Where Art Thou, I was really disappointed when George Clooney turned out to be such a flaming liberal moron.

What a ridiculous statement.

The dopey cop put himself in that danger by trying to enter a moving vehicle

The security officer didn't attempt to enter the vehicle. How do you know the vehicle was moving when he opened the door, Carnac?.

Same at the S.O. when I was in.

Badge and gun on at all times except sleep and shower (more or less)...

I always had them under a pull over shirt though (when ‘off-duty’).. didn’t want to cause discomfort ;)

[hal ogen]

Well, then...she apparently wasn’t the “perfect shoplifter”.

[Graybeard58]

every time I have been mugged, it has been by a member of her group. How about you?

I've never been mugged. Do you live in a big city? Baltimore? I lived in D.C. for about 4 years in the 60s and visited the bars in Baltimore several times, both places were sewers and I doubt that either has improved in the intervening years.

Hey, I simply posted a photo of the deceased CRIMINAL, and for that I see snide comments downthread suggesting that I'm calling out the Klan. I suppose some of the more politically correct among us are uncomfortable with the facts, but that's their problem, not mine.

Which apparently is double yours.

Also lived in St. Louis 62-63, same thing, s### hole then, s### hole now.

Best movie dialog ever. Too many devastating quotes to mention.

Right up there with "My Cousin Vinnie", although the tv version lost some humor, when all the profanity was removed and I'm no great fan of profanity.

>>I never go unarmed into a Walmart.

This, and our Walmart is about as safe as it gets and only about 1/2 mile from the police HQ. Maybe less.

Amen sister!

I can't count the times I've been called, liberal, moron, idiot, etc. by one of them because I dared to disagree in the slightest with them.

There are some on this very thread. No I won't "name them", We all know who they are.

I try, don't always succeed, with the philosophy of "live and let live".

‘...the shifter lever...’. you mean the PRNDL ?

I have never sat there hitting pause and play on a live camera, thinking it was hilarious. But I can totally see some doofus in a uniform doing that.
