    I avoid stopping at any gas station in Century. Just too dangerous. I did the night before the hurricane to top off my tank, I was very thankful for my CCW and to be actively carrying.

    I witnessed the whole thing, right behind my car. It was scary. Hope the guy heals soon and the shooter gets caught! Praying for everyone involved.
