CLEVELAND COMMUNITY – The investigation into a weekend shooting outside a Johnston County bsuiness is still continuing.

Based on initial statements, an 18 year-old male allegedly approached a man in the parking lot and pointed a gun. The victim pulled out a firearm and shot the teenager.
The teen was rushed to WakeMed with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The 18 year-old has not cooperated with investigators.

Open or Canceled Carry saved the Nan from getting robbed
Score one for the conceal carry permit!
Hmmmmm….Looks like somebody F’dA&FO!!!!! Bravo.
Yes!!!!
Should have finished the punk kid off. What is the DA checking into charges. The man protected himself. Bottom line!
I wonder why they won’t post the name of the perp as he is 18….wonder if they have charged him with assault for pointing a gun and attempted robbery. There’s other things I wonder about as well……and so do all of you.
He found out. Better use it if you point it. Hope he learned his lesson. Don’t punk around and find out.
Good!!! Times are changin, criminals are getting dummer & dumber
