Mobile phone users are forwarding SMS messages to each other warning that women and children will be killed at a Wal-Mart store. The messages claim that the killings will be part of a planned gang initiation rite. The only people likely to make a killing are Wal-marts competitors, as customers boycott the discount department store in fear of their lives. Typical SMS messages that have been seen forwarded include: “Do not go to any Walmart tonight. There is a gang initiation and three women will be shot this is not a joke pls foward””]
