FONTANA >> A man stabbed himself to death Wednesday morning inside a Target store.

Fontana police say surveillance video at about 11 a.m. shows the unidentified man walk into the store on Summit Avenue, head over to the kitchen section, remove a knife from its packaging and stab himself.

“Upon arrival, our officers located an individual with an apparent self-inflicted stabbing wound to the torso area,” said Martha Guzman-Hurtado, police spokeswoman. “It appears that this incident is suicide.”

Around 1:30 p.m., the Target store closed to the public. Customers were still allowed inside the store as late as 1 p.m.

Marlene Rodriguez, 34, of Fontana, said she left the Target at about 1:25 p.m.

Rodriguez said she was unaware of what had happened inside, but she soon overheard employees discussing the incident. She also noticed police tape blocking off a section of the store.

“It’s disgusting that they would let people continue to shop when there’s a dead body inside,” she said. “My stomach is churning. Why wouldn’t they clear the store out as soon as they knew what had happened?”

Chris Comley, 57, said he shops at Target at least once a week. He was inside the store when police responded to the incident.

“Why would someone do this at a Target? I wouldn’t have gone inside if I had known there was a dead body there,” Comely said. “I’ve suffered from depression, so this hits home with me. We have to pray that this kind of stuff stops happening.”

The store has been closed until further notice, according to Target officials. No further injuries were reported.

“At Target, the safety and security of our guests and team members is a top priority. I can confirm we are working closely with law enforcement on this matter,” Target spokeswoman Erika Winkels said, in a statement.
