It happened around 4:30 p.m. in the store's parking lot near the intersection of N.C. Highway 98 and Capital Boulevard.
Authorities said Wednesday that 20-year-old Truman Lyons and three others were sitting inside a car inspecting a handgun, when Lyons accidentally shot himself in the leg. After Lyons got out of the car, the other three subjects fled the scene.
Officers later stopped their car along Longhouse Street in the Crenshaw Hall subdivision.
The driver was detained at the scene, but the other two men allegedly fled on foot. Police said they captured 20-year-old Anthony Evans at approximately 5 p.m. in the parking lot of the Carolina Ale House in Wake Forest. Twenty-year-old Branden Dinkins was arrested around 5:20 p.m. after hiding inside the freezer of the not yet opened Buffalo Brothers on Retail Drive.
Both Dinkins and Evans have been charged with resisting, delaying, and obstructing a public officer and were being held in the Wake County Jail under a $1,500 secured bond.
Police said the investigation is continuing and additional charges are pending.
