Witnesses said 61-year-old Gary Harlan Scott of Modesto rushed at employees inside the store, who defended themselves with chairs and other objects. As several police officers were responding to the scene, the department was informed an off-duty Department of Corrections officer had possibly shot Scott. The officer shot at him several times outside the Costco, hitting him once. The off-duty officer was not injured. Posted By Persist
