Police responded to 911 calls around 11:10 a.m. of a man walking through the parking lot, screaming and pointing a gun at cars, police said. At the scene, officers heard conflicting reports that the weapon was a shotgun, rifle or a BB gun. They found the man still brandishing the weapon in front of the Subway. He was shot on the sidewalk outside the door of the Subway. Investigators later determined that the weapon was a rifle-style pellet gun with a wooden stock and a scope.
