A shooting in a Costco store over the weekend sparked a lot of fear, and many questions. More details about the bizarre and disturbing incident have come out, though now I have even more questions than before!

According to the Corona, California Police Department, an off-duty police officer was shopping with his family when a man, identified by police as 32-year-old Kenneth French, suddenly assaulted him in an unprovoked attack. The officer, who was not identified, then fatally shot French and wounded the man's parents, Paola and Russell French, who were with him at the store.

According to French's family, the 32-year-old was nonverbal with significant disabilities. It's unclear what exactly happened, and if witnesses have come forward with specific details on what caused the officer to open fire inside the crowded store.
