Apologies if this isn't suitable for the forum...

Police were called to ...(Carter Furniture)... shortly after 1:10 a.m. The caller said Donald Carter was unresponsive. He had been shot in the lower torso.

Carter, 82, was taken to Sentara Obici Hospital and was pronounced dead a short time later.

Mr. Carter's business is on the border between "downtown" and "ghetto." He has operated this location for decades.

Details are as yet pretty sketchy.

And no, my strong Second Amendment feelings have not been affected by this tragedy.

It is terrible that things like this happen, and I am sorry for your loss, but news articles, even gun related ones and those that hit close to home, are off topic for THR.
