Police: Argument In Toy Store Leads To Parking Lot Shooting

FLINT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police say an argument inside a toy store near Flint led to a shooting in a parking lot that left a man wounded.

Police say the 25-year-old Flint man was shot in the leg Monday evening outside Toys R Us, got into a car with other people and fled to a nearby shopping mall parking lot. He was treated and released.

Flint Township police Lt. Jim Baldwin says the 18-year-old suspected shooter fled in a truck. Police later arrested him and a woman who turned herself in.

Detective Sgt. Kevin Salter tells The Flint Journal the argument might have "started over a look."

Toys R Us employee Tequila Roberson says she was ringing up purchases and heard three or four gunshots.

The newspaper says the store was locked down about 20 minutes before shopping resumed.
