One man was shot and injured late Friday morning during an argument in the Dollar General parking lot at 1445 Haines Avenue in Rapid City.
The Rapid City Police Department responded to the shooting around 10:30 a.m. and found the man with a gunshot wound to the torso. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, and the suspect was arrested.
Police Chief Don Hedrick said witnesses on the scene told police the shooting stemmed from an argument in the parking lot.
“An act of violence like this in broad daylight is not acceptable, and it’s something that we can’t normalize in our community,” Hedrick said. “We are taking this investigation very seriously and working through all the steps that we need to do to make sure folks are held accountable.”
