The older man suffered an injury to his hand and was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition, police said. Police would not say if the injury was a gunshot wound.

An employee, who asked not to be named, said he saw the two men fighting near the entrance to the store. “Just shows he shouldn’t have a gun,” the employee said.

At the scene, workers moved around the parking lot collecting carts, but the store remained closed for the rest of the night. A sweatshirt and a baseball cap lay on the ground in front of the doors near a trail of blood.
