NextImg:Armed man scares off North Carolina supermarket shooter

A gunman was chased away by an armed bystander after he opened fire outside of a supermarket in North Carolina, police said.

Mirza Zukanovic, 35, is accused of shooting at two people on Saturday night following a domestic dispute at the Lowes Foods parking lot in Wake Forest Crossing, WRAL News reports.

As Zukanovic fired at the duo, a bystander who has a license to carry a weapon drew his own pistol and fired at the gunman.

Zukanovic then fled the scene, but was impaired while driving and crashed his car just minutes later along the nearby Stadium Drive.

Zukanovic was taken into custody without further incident and charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, discharging a firearm in the city limits, driving while impaired, no operator’s license, failure to wear a seatbelt and failure to maintain lane control.

No one was injured in the shootout, and no property was reported damaged, Wake Forest Police said.

Zukanovic was booked at the Wake County Detention Center and is being held without bail.

A representative for Zukanovic was not immediately available for comment.

The shooting at the supermarket was caused by a domestic dispute between Zukanovic and two others.

Although rare, armed bystanders have been credited with taking down dangerous armed criminals in the past.

Last month, a customer at the Zaxby’s restaurant in Alpharetta, Georgia, shot a 57-year-old armed gunman attempting to rob the establishment.

The local hero, who was not publicly identified, shot the would-be robber in the leg, twice, leading the suspect to flee into the woods where he was arrested by police.
