This AM the Dallas Police approached a van camping in a Wal Mart parking lot
in Grand Paririe TX (Part of Dallas).
The van is a Chevy with NM license plates.
The inhabitants (don't know how many) shot the two policemen that approached
the van to check things out.
This stand off started about 8AM and continues through this noon hour
without any more shots beingn fired.
Every time I ever camped (parked the night) in a Wal Mart parking lot I was
approached by unsavory characters panhandling or just nosing about not
knowing that I was in the van.
I've always considered it just as dangerous as camping the night in truck
stops or highway rest stops. Florida is the exception in rest stops because
they have good security.
