Woman Buys Knives, Stabs Shopper After Checkout Line Dispute

A shopping line argument at a Marshalls store in Kearny, New Jersey, ended in a stabbing. Authorities report that 25-year-old Amber Thompson became upset Saturday when she thought another customer was moving too slowly in the checkout line. Police say Thompson threatened the woman and later followed her outside to the parking lot. Investigators say Thompson bought a set of knives, removed one from the package, chased the victim, and stabbed her several times. The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers found Thompson hiding in a store bathroom with a bloody knife on a baby changing station. She faces assault and weapons charges. (Story URL)
