Horror at the West Hollywood Target!

A woman wielding two knives has gone on the rampage in a Hollywood supermarket and stabbed four shoppers leaving one in a critical condition.
Customers ran for the door as Layla Trawick, 34, plunged a knife into the upper back and shoulder of a male shopper who crouched down and covered up to fend off the blows. She injured three others before she was eventually arrested by an off-duty police officer.
Journalist Allison McNamara, who saw Trawick attacking a shopper, said: 'You could see where the knife was going into his back. The knife had ridges and a tag on it. She was going as fast and strong as she could.

'Four to six inches were covered in blood. She looked like she was going to stab everyone there. She was yelling "I'm bipolar. There's no witness protection programme."'
Trawick was stopped by off-duty policeman Clay Grant, who was shopping for paper towels in the Target store on Santa Monica Boulevard.
Grant, 26, drew his Beretta service weapon and demanded she drop the steak knife and butcher's knife she was carrying.
Grant told the Los Angeles Times that training had taught him that from her distance of about 20 feet she was no danger to him and he chose not to pull the trigger.
The woman saw his gun and dropped both knives on the floor. Grant and Target security officials restrained Trawick then handcuffed her.

Playing down suggestions that he had been a hero Grant said: 'I just come here to do my duties.'
Trawick entered the store and picked up two knives from the kitchen department.
The stabbing set off a stampede of customers, authorities said.
Deputies with the sheriff's West Hollywood station responded after numerous 911 calls reported a gunman at the Target, Sgt. Josh Mankini said. Officials speculate the 'gunman' was probably Grant.
'There was a panic in the store,' Mankini said.
Officials praised Grant for his quick thinking, saying he might have prevented the situation from getting far worse.
'We are exceptionally proud of Deputy Grant,' sheriff's Capt. Michael Parker said.
'The reason why this tragic situation wasn't worse was because of the quick thinking of an armed, off-duty sheriff's deputy who was willing to risk his life to end this situation.'
Four people were wounded, including a woman who was carrying a baby. The baby was unhurt. The most seriously injured victim was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in critical condition, officials said. He was showing signs of improvement last night.
L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Trawick is being held at the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station jail on $1-million bond. Store security cameras captured the attack, but the footage is not being released.
