Gunfire Exchanged Between Two People Inside Century Convenience Store
December 5, 2021
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office says gunfire was exchanged between two people inside a Century convenience store Saturday night.
It happened about 5:55 p.m. at the Century Kwik Stop on North Century Boulevard, just south of Whataburger.
“A white male and a black male were inside the store and an argument ensued,” ECSO Sgt. Melanie Peterson told NorthEscambia.com. “The white male pulled a gun, the black male pulled a gun, and shots were fired between them. Neither one was hit.” She said the black male may have been a juvenile.
One of the individuals fled the scene, while the other remained behind to tell his side of the story to deputies. The store clerk was not involved and was not injured.
As of late Saturday night, Peterson said no arrests had been made.
The two individuals were reportedly less than 25 feet apart when the shots were fired.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

They’d probably have had a better chance to hit each other if they took the bullets out of their guns and just threw them at each other!
That is so sad. be for real. Century.
In Century can’t believe it I been here all my life things changes and so do peoples only god knows.
CONTEMPLATING:
“Guns need to be off the streets whatever that takes.”
They weren’t on the streets. They were in the store.
“Whatever it takes?” It would take spying on everyone everywhere all the time. Can you picture a government willing to kill a third of the population? Cambodia. Forty million people? Communist China. Twenty million farmers? Soviet Union. Religious minorities? Germany, Iran, Afghanistan, city of Salem, Spanish Inquisition, Turkey, people just like you and me.
And if you got rid of all guns, there are plenty of other ways to kill. Why prefer them over guns?
What is needed is better people. Until then, it’s a dangerous world.
David for better people or better armor
@RM, whatever it takes???? One day you may get your wish, but I doubt you’ll be the one doing the taking, nor do I think you understand what will happen if that day should come.
@Larry Smith
Isn’t that what the US Constitution is supposed to be used for?
In Century? Whaaaat???? Gun fire?? No way…… hahahaha
It’s if funny how some people use the constitution
right only for the things they believe and support
and what to stop others from using their rights.

It’s your God given right to have and carry a firearm, you have the right to protect yourself by Any means necessary. I carry everywhere I go, but I also practice and have excellent aim, unlike these two
Can you please provide the area where God says anything about guns and gives you the right to have and carry a firearm? I have been reading the bible for 60 years and have never found that part.
I’m also a reader of the constitution and the 2nd amendment allows you to carry a gun if you are a member of a “well established militia” Which one do you belong to?
Looks like new rules are any argument ends in gunfire.
Think there’s 2 guys that needs to learn how to aim and then shoot!
Well that certainly deescalated.
It’s your God given right to have and carry a firearm, you have the right to protect yourself by Any means necessary. I carry everywhere I go, but I also practice and have excellent aim, unlike these two.
I believe everyone should be able to open carry. No permit no nothing. The government is at least 100 times bigger than necessary.
@tg
Because we know criminals follow the law. Right?
@ bob in baker
I don’t know. Seems it might’ve been a better fight seeing as they both missed at 25 feet lol
@RM
Guns need to be out of the hands of criminals not law abiding citizens who stick around to talk to the deputies.
These two fools must be in training to be imperial storm troopers from Star Wars………….they can’t hit anything they aim at either!
They did the gun confiscation thing in the UK. Knife and machete attacks skyrocketed.
Solution: Repeat offenders should not be given the opportunity to develop a wrap-sheet that will fill a file cabnet.
There has to be a measure to say…..ok, you have been given several chances to be a useful contributor to society and you failed miserably.
Depending on the offense, life in a work camp, life in prison confinement, execution.
We should pass a law that if you carry it has to be in a western holster so we will know who all of these nuts are.
I can’t decide if I’d be more afraid of a juvenile with a gun or a grown man. Probably neither, in this case, since I’m a great shot and neither one of them are.
@RM
And while you’re at it let’s take away your freedom of speech, women’s right to vote , etc. Quit with the knee jerk responses. How about asking how the juvenile had a handgun in the first place and work from there. Why should my right one that I served and fought for be taken away because of the lawlessness of others. I’ve owned firearms most of my 60 yrs and the ONLY thing I’ve shot were not living items.
25 feet no one hit, I’m glad but where is the videos so we can identify these individuals and get them off the street. They need to do a sweep through Century. Starting from Salters Lake to behind the substation to Old Flomaton, Campbell Rd to Hilltop to backwoods to Hwy 4A. Really the whole town…
This one goes out to all the people not going to the range and not doing regular dry fire practice. 25 feet apart, nobody injured. Think about it
I think the ECSO needs to have a range that teaches thugs how to shoot.
That way they can hit the target and not innocent by people.
Good thing they are both terrible shots. Guns need to be off the streets whatever that takes
Well there is another one that got away with it ! Everybody knows who it was go put his but in jail before he kills someone but that’s Century’s finest law at work as always good job clown’s maybe when he kills someone you will put him somewhere so he can’t hurt anyone else
Isn’t it really great and convenient that people have guns so they don’t have to resort to fist fights.
