According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Jim Gilbert, several people were shot near a store on the 5000 block of Chatterton Road at approximately 7:38 p.m.
Gilbert said people were gathered at a Dollar General parking lot to hold a vigil for someone killed last week.

People at the scene said that for this type of violence to happen while people were already grieving is unacceptable.
