WINNIPEG — Sandra Houston was looking for Christmas gifts for her grandchildren when she heard yelling coming from the checkout aisle at a Winnipeg Toys “R” Us store. She spotted a security guard tussling with a suspected shoplifter near the exit door. After a few minutes, she said the guard pulled a knife from her back pocket. “I’m glad my grandchildren weren’t with me.”Toys “R” Us has apologized and the guard has been fired. “ESM personnel are not permitted to carry any form of weapon or anything that can be perceived as a weapon,” spokesman Bikram Daulay said in a statement.
