Walmart Shoplifting Ends in Deadly Confrontation

A Walmart shoplifting confrontation in Anchorage turned deadly when suspect Deandrea Robertson, wanted for assault and vehicle theft, pulled a weapon and opened fire on officers—wounding one in the thigh and another in the chest, though the vest saved him. The second officer returned fire, killing Robertson. The woman he was with, Kathleen Lowe, was also arrested. Police are still investigating what was in his bag, while the incident underscores the growing threat of organized retail crime and the tough choices retailers face when deciding how to handle theft—especially with varying security policies across stores.
