Updated: Two Stab Each Other Outside Atmore Tractor Supply Company Store In Ongoing Dispute
April 24, 2024
Two young men, both about 19-years-old and from Atmore, were stabbed Tuesday afternoon outside the Tractor Supply Company store in Atmore. Police say they pulled knives on each other.
It happened about 12:20 p.m. in the parking lot of the Tractor Supply on Lindberg Avenue.
“These two young men who had been having issues over something that one of them said about the other’s family — they met in the parking lot. From there, it became basically a fist fight,” Atmore Police Department Sgt. Darrell McMann said. From there, both men then stabbed each other.
“One of them walked off and ended up collapsing inside Tractor Supply while the other one collapsed in the parking lot,” McMann said.

Both were airlifted to area trauma centers, McMann said. An update on their conditions was not available.
Investigators were seen searching two vehicles for evidence in the parking lot related to the incident.
Across the street, Escambia County High School was placed into a “secure perimeter lockdown”, according to the school.
“It’s kind of an out of the ordinary type thing. But again, this was between two individuals who were having an ongoing issue with each other just happened to meet up at the same place at the same time,” McMann added, stressing that there was no ongoing danger to the public.
“The safety and security of our Team Members and customers is our top priority. We immediately alerted the appropriate authorities about this incident and will continue to work closely with them on this matter for any support we can provide. Our thoughts go out to those affected by this most unfortunate situation,” Tractor Supply Director of Public Relations Tricia Whittemore told NorthEscambia.com.
Further details have not been released as the investigation continues.

@Amy……..You are correct that parenting skills or a lack thereof, may not be the case here. However, very few accept responsibility anymore for their actions and want to blame their childhood or society.
@Susie……It is early in the year but you get my vote for comment of the year!
Being in church doesn’t make you Christian, Karen, I mean Amy
Who are you to judge on the parenting of these two boys seems to me you need to be in church. This is in God’s hands and maybe God will save them both.
Who would have thought that teenagers and those 20 to 30 are raising all our crime rates? Seriously bad parenting and family accountability. Our community can do better than this.
Brains aren’t fully formed at 19. In this case, they may never be.
Go to Atmore you get more
Prayers for all
WOWZER!!!!!!!
