Target Sues Man who Saved Teen from being Stabbed to Death


Allison Meadows, the teen-aged girl who was attacked and stabbed in a Pennsylvania Target launched a lawsuit against Target for lacking security that put her and other shoppers in danger.

Her experience in 2013, when Leon Walls rushed at her and stabbed her was harrowing.  Had Micheal Turner and several other men not come to her rescue Target could be facing a greater lawsuit if Walls had succeeded in killing her.

Meadows is “extremely thankful for Turner’s efforts”, though Target is not.

“I thank him,” Meadows has said. “I thank him every time I see him.”

But Meadows launched a lawsuit against Target, saying the store’s lack of security put all shoppers, not just her, in danger.

Target, however, is less grateful for Mr. Turner’s heroics. And now the retailer is suing him for “endangering” the store’s customers.

According to the company’s filing, Target says Turner and several others chased the suspect toward the store’s entrance after the attack on the girl. The store insists Turner put other shoppers at risk with his actions.

Target has infuriated the victim, Allison, and her family as they believe Target is shifting the blame away from its own ineptitude and security failures.

“Suing Michael Turner is just Target’s way of trying to blame someone else for what happened under their own roof,” the Meadows family attorney said. “The family certainly doesn’t blame Mr. Turner and they are thankful he was there that day.”

Target cannot handle any more bad publicity and yet, here they go again, stirring up trouble where there should be none.  Michael Turner is a hero who deserves accolades for valor, yet instead, Target sees him as the dangerous one, and not the substandard security that put Allison and all customers in danger.
