South Dakota woman kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to drive to Walmart store

Occurred November 8, 2013.


A man broke into a woman's home in Rapid City, South Dakota, and forced at gunpoint to drive him to the local Walmart store with the apparent intention of making her get money for him.  Once at the Walmart parking lot, she escaped and sought help.  The man fled.

From an article:
The woman discovered the stranger in her Van Buren Street home about 5:30 p.m., according to police spokeswoman Tarah Heupel. The man walked out of the bedroom with a gun and made her take him to Walmart. 
At Walmart, the woman fled into the store and sought help from employees who called police.
The suspect ran from the scene. 
During a follow-up investigation at the woman's house, police discovered a laptop taken from a nearby home about 2:30 p.m.  
In that instance, the resident discovered his back door was kicked in and confronted the suspect, whom he chased out of the house before calling police.
This is apparently the same Walmart where there was a fatal stabbing in 2012.

Walmart.  Save money.  Die faster.
