Officials with North Carolina's ABC Commission have banned a Goldsboro convenience store from selling alcohol after frequent shootings, fights and drug violations occurred in or near the store over a span of several months.

Bee's Town, located at 905 S. Slocumb Street, has held its current ABC permit since Oct. 28, 2013. A shooting at the store on Sept. 7 was the second in three months, officials said, which prompted the ABC Commission to take action.

North Carolina is one of 17 states to regulate alcohol through a control system. This is the second summary suspension issued this year in North Carolina by the ABC Commission.
