Waterford Township -- Greg Paul Wainio had only been on the job as a Kmart loss prevention officer for about three weeks before his final shift ended in tragedy.

The 36-year-old Wainio, a Gaines, Mich., resident and father of 8-year-old twin boys and five stepchildren, was dragged to his death Thursday by two suspected shoplifters. They were charged Friday in Wainio's death.

Shoplifting Turns Deadly


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
