Walmart Madness #32! Another Baseball Bat Attack

A 17-year-old attacked a Walmart loss-prevention worker with a baseball bat on Sunday after the teen was approached during an investigation into potential shoplifting, said Lisa Klein, Staunton Police Department spokeswoman.
The security worker was taken to the hospital with injuries to their ribs, back and hands, Klein said. The worker also suffered lacerations.
Police have identified the teenager and are trying to determine his whereabouts, Klein said.
The teen, who has not been identified due to his age, was with his grandmother in the sporting goods department when the worker approached him around 3:30 p.m., Klein said. The teen then grabbed a baseball bat from store shelves to launch the attack, and left with his grandmother after the worker was incapacitated, Klein said.
A petition had not been issued for arrest as of 6:30 p.m. as police try to locate the teenager, but “if anything is broken it would be a felony assault,” Klein said. No charges for shoplifting are expected.
