On Wednesday, he entered and told the owner that he was owed money. When the owner refused, the man pulled out a gun and opened fire.
Police arriving at the store found the suspect still in the store, and he gave himself up and a gun was taken. Mitchell says the owner is hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds. No identities have been released, but Mitchell says the suspect will be charged with capital murder.
