McGinister claimed she needed help and “demanded to speak to a news anchor,” the Associated Press noted.

Police demanded McGinister drop her gun, and shot her dead when she refused.

McGinister was from West Helena, Arkansas.

Breitbart News reported that six people were shot and killed in a Chesapeake, Virginia, Walmart on November 22, 2022. The alleged gunman was a store employee with a pistol.
