PRINCETON, Texas — Officials say a Wal-Mart employee is in custody after stabbing two people in a North Texas store.

Princeton police Chief James Waters said the incident happened Wednesday afternoon. He said the two people stabbed were taken by helicopter to a hospital and are both in stable condition.

Princeton City Manager Derek Borg told TV station KXAS an off-duty McKinney firefighter was among the victims.

Waters said the suspect fled but was caught nearby. He said the suspect was being treated for what are believed to be self-inflicted injuries to his hand.

The chief said they’ll be interviewing the suspect to try to determine a motive.

In a statement, Wal-Mart called the incident “deeply troubling” and added that “the associate who did this was arrested and his employment at our store was immediately terminated.”
