Walmart Shootings (and other gun violence incidents)

Armed robbery at bank inside of Texas Walmart

The two gunmen inside the Tomball Walmart at the bank

Occurred November 12, 2012.
Three men are being sought for an armed robbery at the Woodforest National Bank outlet inside of a Walmart at Tomball, Texas.

Two of the men pulled out pistols at the bank, then fled with the assistance of a third man.

FBI officials said two of the men walked into the bank armed with pistols and demanded cash. They had been dropped off outside the store and then were picked by the third man, who was driving a dark Toyota or Honda four-door.

No injuries were reported.

Walmart. Save money. Die faster.
