Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – June 12, 2024 – Citizens keep shooting themselves accidentally in business parking lots.
JRN reported earlier on a shooting Tuesday night in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter on Highland Drive. According to the police report, the shooting was an accident.
A 27-year-old male and a couple of teens were in a white Chevrolet Avalanche when a gun he had in his possession discharged and he was struck in the leg. Law enforcement helped stop the blood flow with a tourniquet and the man was transported to a local hospital.
Just a few days ago, we reported on another twenty-something man who shot himself in the leg in the Colton’s parking lot. That particular “victim” told JPD he was taking his gun apart and had forgotten that it was loaded.
