Brawl in Arizona Walmart parking lot leaves one dead

A late night brawl in a Cottonwood, AZ, Walmart parking lot late Saturday evening left one suspect dead and seven others, including a police officer injured.  Officials said the officer was shot in the leg when he attempted to break up the melee.  The incident began when a Walmart employee noticed a large group of people gathered in a store restroom.  When she tried to enter the restroom, she was shoved by one of the suspects.

By the time police officers arrived, the group had made its way to the parking lot where officers were immediately attacked, and there was a struggle for an officer's weapon.  Three shots were fired, killing one suspect and injuring two others, but it was unclear who had fired the shots.

Injuries included lacerations and bruising, and seven suspects were arrested and charged with various charges including aggravated assault, attempted homicide and obstruction of justice.

The suspects' vehicle was a Chevrolet Suburban with Idaho plates, and all suspects belong to a family that had been living in their vehicle in front of the store for several days.
