A former PetSmart employee walked into the east side store Thursday night and lit himself on fire.
He allegedly doused himself in flammable liquid beforehand.
Customers inside the store rushed to put the flames out with an extinguisher.
EPD Sgt. Anna Gray says the former employee was said to be armed with two knives, but didn’t threaten anyone.
He was transported to a burn unit at an Evansville hospital.
No one else was hurt and so far no charges have been filed.
