The grandmother who died in Thursday’s shooting at a Publix supermarket in Florida valiantly tried to stop the gunman before she was shot, authorities said Friday.
The unidentified 69-year-old woman and her one-year-old grandson were murdered in a Royal Palm Beach Publix supermarket by gunman Timothy J. Tweets.
“The suspect enters the production department where the victims were and takes out his rifle,” PBSO wrote on Twitter.
Another tweet reads: “He’s shooting the kid.” “Grandma interferes with the gunman and because of her brave actions, his gun is jammed.
After some suffering, he ended up shooting the grandmother and then himself.
“This could have been prevented!” Another tweet was quoted by Palm Beach Sheriff Rick Bradshaw.
The grandmother who died in a shooting at a Publix supermarket in Florida bravely tried to stop the gunman.
The bureau noted that Wall posted on Facebook that he “wanted to kill people and children” and that “his wife said he was acting weird and paranoid.”
On Thursday, the PBSO said Wall did not know the victims and that there was no known motive.
The office said the identities of the woman and the boy – who would have turned two this month – would not be released by authorities because the victims’ families benefited from a law allowing their names to be kept confidential.
