It's April 5th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Burmiham News today, your AI-powered local news. A 16-year-old boy got arrested by gas and police after a shooting in the east gas in Walmart parking lot this past Saturday afternoon. It all kicked off around 12.30 pm when offices responded to reports of shots fired. They found two vehicles hit by bullets, but luckily no one was hurt. Detectives say it started as an argument inside the store between the teen and another person, and spilled outside where the teen pulled a gun and fired. Police chief Lamar Jaguars called it a stark reminder of how quickly things escalate, stressing how fortunate they are that nobody got injured. He praised the community's response and vowed to hold folks accountable for endangering others. Mayor Craig Ford echoed that relief, thanking officers for their fast work and people on scene for cooperating to keep the community strong. More charges are pending against the teen, whose name hasn't been released since he's

presumed innocent until proven guilty, but this case underscores. Why guns shouldn't enter everyday beefs.
