Charleston, South Carolina – On Sunday evening, a shooting incident took place at a Walgreens in West Ashley, South Carolina. Around 7 p.m., when police got at the scene, the shooting started resulting in injuries. According to reports by several Charleston area stations, the shooting resulted in two people being shot and injured, including a police officer.
This shooting is part of a bigger problem with gun violence in America. It’s causing a lot of arguments about gun laws. Politicians are struggling to find a solution, and some countries are warning their people to be careful if they’re planning to visit the U.S. Back in 2019, Walgreens and some other stores told their customers not to bring guns into their shops, even in places where it’s usually okay to carry them around.
