The mother of a Walmart employee who was shot and wounded by a former co-worker inside a Walmart store in Evansville says the gunman had repeatedly threatened to kill her daughter.

Jenny Couch told WFIE-TV that her daughter, 28-year-old Amber Cook, was targeted by Ronald Ray Mosley II because he was in love with her boyfriend. When the boyfriend told Mosley that he wasn't interested in him romantically, Mosley became angry with Cook and threatened to kill her, she said.

On Friday, Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin praised as a hero a female employee who came to the victim's aid after Mosley left the break room in pursuit of a male employee who had fled. Bolin said she called 911, moved the victim to another room, locked the door and turned out the lights before Mosley returned looking for the wounded woman.

After the 2022 attack at the store, Mosley pleaded guilty to the battery charges, and the case was referred to Vanderburgh County's mental health court, the county's prosecutor, Diana Moers, said Friday. Moers said Mosley had been complying with court-ordered mental health treatment.

Unpopular opinion, take away all the guns. We simply do not need them. Not here anyways. If you own a gun you are a fucking weirdo.

Maybe…if you repeatedly threaten to kill someone it should be extremely difficult to access a gun.

Let me guess the police said they need proof or you need get a restraining order

Walmart gonna have to change it's name to Target soon How many were killed in Chicago last night? Wonder why so many gun shootings lately?
