A shooting Wednesday afternoon at a Futurewise gas station on the corner of Highway 146 and FM 1988 resulted in one man airlifted for medical treatment and another in police custody.
"We don't have names or all of the information," Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons said at the crime scene. "There was some type of disturbance, and an individual was shot here in the parking lot. He has been transported by Life Flight with our EMS helicopter to a hospital down south.
"At this point, there is no further danger. The shooter has been detained at the sheriff's office."
A press release from the sheriff’s office said that a Precinct 4 deputy constable was able to identify the shooter and place him in custody.
“Deputies and detectives arrived on scene and began to render aid to the victim,” the statement read. “During the investigation, it was discovered that there was an ongoing dispute between the suspect and the victim that led to the shooting. The suspect is in custody at this time for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
Lyons said the shooter remained in the parking lot of what was formerly known as R&D grocery. He was detained without incident and has been questioned by law enforcement.
A red pickup near a gas pump was covered in police tape and it is unclear whether the vehicle belonged to the shooter or victim. It was later towed.
