The man told police that at 1:31 p.m. on Thursday he was at the Kwik-Trip on Fourth Street Northwest. He witnessed two individuals in a heated argument. When he told both of the individuals they were in the wrong, a black male involved in the argument went to a white SUV and removed a handgun from a box in the vehicle.
