Glad no one was hurt, but firing a gun over money is scary.
We’re glad no injuries were reported, too. Police described the incident as isolated and said they had identified no continuing public threat.
Lisa M.Agreed. I'm relieved they both got away unharmed. I hope police can find the person soon.
