Marion Police Investigate Convenience Store Shooting
From the West Alabama Newsroom– Marion Police are investigating a shooting that left an SUV full of bullet holes — and a Marion man counting his blessings.
Police Chief Carlton Hogue says 30 year old Michael Parker is charged with Discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
He says Parker pulled out a gun and shot up the vehicle after getting into an argument at the Junior Food Mart store early Sunday morning.
Twenty-one year old Kenneth Tabb of Marion was in the vehicle. Tabb says he’s lucky to be alive.
“The guy just started shooting, just started shooting and then after he emptied that clip he told one guy to grab his rifle and just pointed it dead at me,” said Tabb. “I looked dead into the scope. I just felt like it was hunting season and they thought I was a deer.”
Parker is being held in the James Hood Detention Facility on $100,000 dollars bond.
