Sounds like the attempted carjacking occurred in the Walmart parking lot. The area has alot of transients hanging around panhandling and camping in their cars and in the wooded area to the north. Second known crime involving a firearm in the area in the past two to three weeks. Do not appease the transients in the area and do not condone camping or illegal sales in the Walmart parking lot. This is our neighborhood. Let’s keep it safe.
