In May 2016, media outlets such as The Federalist published articles reporting that the Target retail chain was suing a man named Michael Turner for saving a girl from being stabbed to death in one of their stores: Such articles referenced an incident from March 2013 in which Michael Turner saved 16-year-old Allison Meadows after she was stabbed by Leon Walls inside a Pittsburgh Target store: In the summer of 2015, a series of lawsuits were filed involving Allison Meadows, Target stores, and Meadows' attackers and rescuers. Meadows sued Target on the basis that the store had failed to keep her safe during the attack, while Target in turn sued Turner, Walls, and two other men involved in the incident. However, Michael Turner was not sued merely for his having saved Allison Meadows from being stabbed. Rather, Target claimed that Turner and others had recklessly endangered customers when they brought a confrontation that had started outdoors into the store. News articles published at the time of the incident in March 2013, as well as articles published in July 2015 when the lawsuits were filed, detailed the events leading up to the attack on Meadows: Turner gave his version of events to KDKA's Brenda Waters in 2015: The lawsuit went to trial in May 2016.
