Remember not long after my return from my cruise, I posted about an off duty police officer ( M ) shooting and killing a man in a road rage incident not far from my home? Today he was charged with murder. I bet that doesn't make national news......
Well this news story won't make national news. We all know why...

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Augusta Police say two bystanders legally armed with handguns stepped in during a shooting incident at a Walmart in Augusta.
Police say four suspects were taken into custody by police Sunday after allegedly firing gunshots in the parking lot of a Walmart.
Police said the suspects involved were sitting in vehicles parked next to each other when an altercation arose. The occupants of one vehicle fired at the occupants of the other, which resulted in a return in gunfire.
When the shooting stopped, police said one suspect exited their vehicle to confront the occupants of the other vehicle. This is when two bystanders, who were legally carrying, interfered and stopped the incident, police said.
