Shooting at Crowded Pierceton Convenience Store

A teenager allegedly fired a handgun early yesterday at a Pierceton convenience store, while the place was crowded with other teens who had just left a teen dance club. According to a news release from Pierceton Town Marshall Tim Sammons, no one was injured. A Pierceton officer was inside the store when he heard the shots in the parking lot and saw about 150 teenagers running away. Sammons says officers quickly arrested a 17-year-old Marion boy who he says fired a .40-calibre handgun during an altercation with other juveniles. It happened at the Pak-A-Sak Shell Food Mart at U-S 30 and State Road 13.
