The encounter happened around 5 p.m. at the Kohl\u2019s at 9617 East Independence Boulevard Matthews, NC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dispute started when the suspect and employees at Kohl’s had some sort of disagreement. The suspect soon began threatening Kohl’s staff members and customers with a gun that she pulled out of her purse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No shots were fired and the suspect left. Store employees were not hurt. 911 was called and the store was evacuated out of an abundance of caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon officers arrival, the store was immediately evacuated of all customers and employees as officers began to search for the suspect.
After a methodical search, along with confirmation by the store video surveillance system, it was determined the suspect had left the store.
Surveillance photos show the woman wore large sunglasses and a ball cap in the store, but pulled down her COVID mask.
Investigators are seeking tips to find the suspect, who could be charged with communicating threats. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
