I appreciate that the Arizona Daily Independent covered this story, but can you give us a bit more info? Was the victim a QT clerk, or was this something else? Did the shooting happen outside or inside the QT? Was a weapon recovered from the scene? How did they find and arrest the suspect? Was he still at the scene? Thanks for your attention to this matter.
