Shocking moment mom pulls gun on shoppers in Walmart

A woman pull out a loaded gun on Monday afternoon in a Novi, Michigan, Walmart during a fight over school supplies.

Two women, aged 32 and 46, reached for a notebook in the Back to School section of Walmart.

A 20-year-old woman and her mother, 51, also tried to reach for the same piece of stationary, and prompted a violent brawl, according to police.

Neither duo would back down. Two women began pulling the younger woman's hair, so her mother tried to intervene.

When the mother was shoved out of the way, she allegedly reacted by pulling out a loaded gun, telling the women to stop attacking her daughter.

Novi Police Detective Scott Baetens told FOX2 that the mother had a Concealed Pistol License.

Novi Police need more witnesses to come forward and they are working to get surveillance video from the Walmart.

Prosecutors hope to determine who the aggressors were and if the woman pulled the gun in self defense. All four women are facing possible charges.

'A simple assault could be just a local ordinance, a 90-day misdemeanor,' Baetens says. 'All the way up to felonious assault with a firearm, which is a felony.'

Police say the gun was loaded but no round was in the chamber. No one was hurt.

It is unclear who ultimately got the notebook.
