On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 62 year old Andreau Yankton walked into the Publix on Orange and Michigan in Orlando, Florida.  Andeau proceeded to the checkout counter and shot Anicia Yankton, his 34 year old wife at point blank range in the head.  Anicia eventually died from her gun shot wound in the hospital the next morning.  Police officers tried to apprehend Yankton in the parking lot of the grocery store before he turned the gun on himself and died instantly.

   This isn’t the first Andreau Yankton family problem.  His ex-wives had filed injunctions against him.  An injunction is a court order basically saying that you can’t do something ever again.  Also, he had a child with Anicia that is now five years old and in the Philippines.

   This is a very scary event in my opinion.  My father works at a Publix and I’m just glad this didn’t happen at the Publix he is at.  Plus, it’s scary that this could even go on in this day and age.  There are ways to get out of a marriage and Andreau chose the wrong way.
