Back in 2006, a Florida couple parked an RV in a Utah Walmart and shot and killed an intruder. Now the couple is suing Walmart, saying the company knew the creep was lurking about but didn’t alert authorities, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

The couple, which says Walmart failed to call police despite being told by customers the guy was causing mayhem earlier that day, wants Walmart to cough up medical and legal costs, as well as general damages.

No charges were filed in the shooting, in which the couple said the attacker forced his way inside the motor home then wrestled the travelers for control of the shotgun they used to kill him.

Walmart is known for opening up its parking lots for weary RV travelers. If you’ve traveled by RV, what was your experience spending the night in a Walmart lot?
