Currently, Washington Township New Jersey Police have no suspects and are investigating. Tinsley told RadarOnline.com that he’s never experienced anything like it.
“I have never heard anything like this before and I hope I will never again. Everyone in the store was outraged. The whole store was quiet when this happened. You could hear a pin drop. We completed our purchases and walked right out. I don't know if we will return."
Ashley Hardie, a representative for the chain, issued the following statement: "We're as appalled by this as anyone. Whoever did this is wrong and acted in an inappropriate manner. Clearly, this is unacceptable. We are currently reviewing our systems to prevent this from happening in the future.”
