In a shocking turn of events late last week, a man was assaulted with gunfire near a popular drugstore in Bossier City, Louisiana. The shooting incident took place just outside of the Walgreens store situated on Airline Drive and Shed Road.
The conflict kicked off around 8:45 PM on Friday night when a still-unidentified person or group opened fire. Upon arriving at the scene to respond to the gunshot report, detectives of the Bossier City Police Department reported observing several bullet holes puncturing the rear passenger door of a white Buick sedan.
Law enforcement officers managed to locate the Buick’s occupant – a man who had reportedly been grazed by the gunfire.

The man’s identity has not yet been made public, citing privacy concerns.
