Wisconsin woman accused of shooting her Walmart coworker jealous over job transfer

http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20130819/APC01/308190233/Complaint-Accused-Walmart-shooter-jealous-victim

The woman accused of shooting her Walmart coworker was upset the victim was moved to an easier job in the liquor department, court documents reveal.

The possible motive and other details of the shooting Wednesday inside the Neenah store were laid out in a criminal complaint filed Monday in Winnebago County Court against Justine Boyd. The 46-year-old Greenville woman, who is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, appeared in court Monday for a bond hearing that was postponed until today so Boyd could apply for a court-appointed attorney.

“It appears to be, from all evidence I’ve seen, an isolated incident between these two regarding what looks like a dispute over positions at the Walmart,” said Scott Ceman, Winnebago County deputy district attorney. “There’s evidence that the defendant was upset that the victim got a position in the liquor store, an easier cash register.”

The victim, Sharon Goffard, 56, of Neenah, was lying behind a counter, soaked in blood and slipping in and out of consciousness when police arrived after the shooting about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, but responded, “Justine, Justine,” when asked who had shot her.

Here, you can buy hard liquor at your local gas station.

The town I grew up in has a gas station with a BAR in it.

I would feel rather foolish if Wally World had to be the root cause of it.
