Target the big box store, not "target."

Man later judged by a jury to be mentally ill stabbed another man outside of a Target (apparently a couple blocks away). No apparent relationship between stabber and stabbee, just "came out of nowhere." The man's friends chased the stabber, who fled into a Target store, maybe slashed a couple other guys (hard to tell exact sequence from stories), then took a teenage girl hostage as a shield, then stabbed her in the chest. The guys tackle the stabber and prevented him from hurting anyone else until police arrived and arrested him. Stabber acquitted of attempted murder of the man he stabbed by reason of insanity, but found guilty but mentally ill for an aggravated assault against the man he stabbed. No mention of charges stemming from stabbing the girl.
