A cashier in a supermarket in Georgia, USA, was shot dead by a customer on June 14, local time. The cause was a dispute that persuaded customers to wear masks.
According to reports, at about 1 p.m. on the 14th, a female cashier at Big Bear Supermarket in Dicapu County asked a 30-year-old male customer Tucker to wear a mask and was refused. After the two had a dispute, Tucker walked out of the store without buying anything. .
However, Tucker did not take long to turn back and allegedly shot the female cashier in the head. The retired policeman who intervened in the treatment was also affected and shot.
According to reports, Tucker tried to escape through the front door after shooting, but was arrested by the police who rushed over.
DiCapu County Sheriff Madus said at the press conference: “It’s because of the mask. I don’t know if it was worn or not. People have different opinions on whether or not to wear a mask, especially now they are in a sensitive moment. "
Madus said that there were a few customers in the supermarket before the incident. After the gunman took out his gun and shot the cashier, the guard fired back.
According to an executive order issued by Republican Governor Brian Kemp, stores in the state can request customers to wear masks to avoid spreading the new crown virus, but it is forbidden to force customers to wear masks.
