Teen Charged in Walmart Shooting, No Injuries

0:00A 16-year-old faces charges after firing shots in a Walmart parking lot in East Gads, Dinalabama, right in the middle of the day. It went down around 12.30 p.m. on Saturday, with bullets hitting two vehicles, but luckily no one got hurt. The trouble started as a dispute inside the store between two people, then spilled out into the crowded lot. The team pulled a gun during the fight, tried to shoot at the other guy, and ended up striking those cars instead. Police are calling it a dangerous choice that could have turned tragic in such a busy spot. Folks on scenes stuck around and helped investigators, while officers locked it down quick and smooth. The kid, whose name they haven't dropped yet, is charged as an adult with two counts of shooting into an occupied vehicle, and more charges are. Coming. Gaston Police Chief Lamar Jaguars says the community stepped upright, holding folks accountable. This hits home, how fast words can turn deadly, but the fast response from everyone kept it from worse.
