Police said that a man committed suicide in a California Target store this week by stabbing himself with a knife. The death happened Wednesday at a Target located in Fontana. Target continued to stay open for two hours, KABC reported.
The
Fontana Police Department said in a news release: 'On Wednesday, March
30, 2016 at approximately, 11;07 a.m., officers responded to a call
about a man down in an aisle inside the Target store located in the
15000 block of Summit Ave.
'Upon arrival officers located the individual in the housewares section of the store with an apparent stab wound to the torso. 'Surveillance video revealed the unidentified male walked into the store and headed to the kitchen section. 'The subject removed a knife out of a package before using it to stab himself.'

Target said in a statement to KABC: 'At Target, the safety and security of our guests and team members is a top priority.'
The
company said: 'Once it was determined there was no danger to guests or
team members, we sectioned off the entire area to allow the police to
investigate.
'Following that investigation, we did close the store, and the store remains closed.
'We anticipate reopening soon. 'We appreciate the support of local law enforcement, and our thoughts are with anyone who may have been impacted.'
Customer Marlene Rodriguez told The Sun: 'It's disgusting that they would let people continue to shop when there’s a dead body inside. 'My stomach is churning.
'Why wouldn't they clear the store out as soon as they knew what had happened?'
