Video store suspect identified in attempted murder

HEFLIN, ALABAMA - A woman stabbed during an armed robbery last week identified Donald Ray Wheat, the man suspected of killing four people in a video store robbery, as her attacker. <br> <br> The woman, who was not identified, didn&#39;t hesitate to pick Wheat, 48, of Shereys Mill, out of a photo lineup with him and six similar-looking men, said Lt. Greg Merrill. <br> <br> The woman was recovering from the attack that took place last Monday. <br> <br> ``It was very emotional,&#39;&#39; Merrill said. ``She really fell apart when she saw the picture.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Wheat was then charged with attempted murder and robbery, besides the robbery charge in the quadruple killing of four people in an Anniston Blockbuster video store Wednesday. He&#39;s being held on bails totaling $1.2 million. <br> <br> Calhoun County District Attorney Joe Hubbard said Wheat will likely soon be charged with four counts of capital murder. <br> <br> The victims were identified as employees Austin Joplin, 22, of Jacksonville, and Douglas Neal, 27, of Tallapoosa, Ga., who were found in an office in the rear of the store; and brothers Joseph Burch, 21, and Andrew Burch, 19, both of Jacksonville. <br> <br> Wheat also was charged Friday with the May 10 murder and robbery of a convenience store owner in Bowdon, Ga.
