Police Arrest Man Who Carried Out Gas Station Shooting Earlier in the Month

The man faces allegations of shooting into an occupied vehicle parked outside a gas station. The man was wearing a ski mask at the time, and officials say that the shooting occurred during an attempted robbery.
The female victim used her own firearm to defend herself, hitting the assailant and forcing him to flee the scene. When police found the suspect with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, the man tried to argue that he was the victim.
