BEECH GROVE, IN (WXIN/WTTV/CNN) - Two men are at the center of the latest issues at the Beach Grove Walmart. Both of the men are 42 years old. Police say the duo attempted to shoplift from the Beech Grove Walmart on Thursday afternoon, but were stopped by police inside of the store.

During questioning, one suspect pulled out a hand gun and then ran from officers. Sprinting across the busy Walmart parking lot and entering the nearby Egg Roll # 1 One restaurant through the back door.

That’s when police say the suspect, who is wanted on two outstanding warrants, locked himself in the bathroom, and shot himself in the head.

"But you don't know what is going to happen when you go there. Today somebody shoplifts and the sheriff department is interviewing these people in there. They take off, they run through the parking lot. The guy has a gun on him and then he ends up going into a local restaurant and shooting himself. We can not do that,” said Mayor Dennis Buckley.

1. I don't get this.

Should the movie theater in Colorado where all the people got murdered be declared a "public nuisance"?

4. Does it happen there every week?

If so, then yes.

2. Maybe the town around the walmart is the nuisance.
