Two shoppers at an Atlanta-area Wal-Mart have reported being pricked by hypodermic needles hidden in clothing, prompting an investigation by Georgia sheriff's officials who are urging others to be cautious.

A third shopper found a broken syringe in the pocket of a pair of pants at the Wal-Mart in Cartersville, about 45 miles northwest of Atlanta, but was unharmed, according to Sgt. Jonathan Rogers, a spokesman for the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office.

Rogers said the sheriff’s department was reviewing store security footage for any clues in the case.

"We’re trying to identify who may have done that and why they might have done that," he said.

He said neither victim had any "medical issues that we know of," after the incidents. The syringes, which were all recovered, appear to have been unused, Rogers said.

4. Sadly, this is from my hometown. And the article I read indicates that Wally World won't cover the

costs of HIV preventative meds.

Lots of meth junkies in Cartersville, but lots of diabetics too. Shit like this is why I avoid big box stores.

I'll just leave this here...

5. Cartersville is just up the road from me.

Never shop at WalMart anyway. But I will steer clear of that one.
