Smith's employee Dorothy Espinoza says, "He pulled it out and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my
people."<br><br>Espinoza says, the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. "There is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms."<br><br>Then, before the suspect could find another victim - a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. "A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith's grabbed him."<br><br>By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian <span class="mark" id="misspell-10">Purvis</span> said, "This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time."<br><br>Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also thankful
for the gun carrying man. And many, like <span class="mark" id="misspell-11">Danylle</span> Julian, are still in shock from the experience. "Scary actually. Really scary. Five minutes before I walk out to my car. It could have been me."<br><br>Police say right now they have no idea what caused the suspect to go on the dangerous rampage. <br><br>So far, police have not released the names of the suspect, the victims or the man who pulled the gun.</span><span style='font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv2402540964MsoNormal"><span style='font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'> </span></div></div></div></div></div><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br> serving the communities of the <span class="mark" id="misspell-12">Palouse</span> since 1994.<br>
