AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - No one was injured in a late-night shooting on East Boundary.

Deputies say they found the store building had been struck several times by gunfire. Investigation revealed that an unknown person(s) fired into the building from the outside and fled the scene.

The business was open and there were several people inside the store, but no one was struck or injured in the incident.

Perhaps coincidentally, the Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a murder conviction for a fatal shooting at a Chevron station at the same location.

This was the second convenience store shooting in 24 hours. The first one – outside a Circle K at 1739 Walton Way – was fatal.
