The incident started over a parking spot, according to a witness on the scene.

Shoppers say they are surprised that an incident of this nature happened in the area.

“Obviously we live in a pretty calm, small suburb, so it’s kind of surprising to see it happen and not know about it,” said Phillip Brooks.

This type of altercation was also frightening to a local customer who says not only does he shop at Kroger but many other places in the shopping center off Goodman Road, as well.
