Charles Moore

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police have arrested an employee of Bader's Food Mart in downtown Louisville, after they say he admitted to shooting a customer with a rifle early Thursday morning. 

According to LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell, officers were called to the store in the 300 block of South First Street after the suspect, 28-year-old Charles Moore, called 911 to report trouble with a customer. About seven minutes later, Mitchell says officers were flagged down at University Hospital after a shooting victim was brought in by a private vehicle who said he had been shot at Bader's. 

The victim told police he had been arguing with a store employee, who shot him after he left the store. After interviewing Moore, police say he admitted to firing a rifle. Moore told police he and the victim had been arguing, and the victim threw items before Moore shot him. 

Moore is charged with second degree assault.
