Fayetteville, N.C. — Police said Tuesday that a man wanted in a shooting last month at a Fayetteville gas station has been arrested.

Wow and it only took a month! How many other people did he shoot while he was on the lamb? What a shame that his life in prison will begin at 23.....hopefully with no end in sight.
