Witnesses said the attacker never spoke a word.
"He didn't say anything. He just walked in the store, had the hatchet, and started attacking people," Sgt. West said. "We do not see any wrongdoing on the part of the customer."
West said he has a valid concealed pistol license. She said the customer told authorities he buys coffee from the convenience store almost every morning.
