Leesburg police are asking the public for information after an 87-year-old man sitting in a car at a gas station was shot by someone arguing with him Saturday afternoon.
Officers responded around 2:40 p.m. to a shooting reported at the Citgo along West Main Street, where it was determined three suspects had approached the vehicle — two on the passenger’s side and one on the driver’s side — before the shooting occurred.
A confrontation began and the suspect on the driver’s side then shot the man before all three suspects ran away, police said. The victim was hospitalized and underwent surgery Saturday night, according to a news release.

The 3 have not been apprehended so stay on your toes if you travel in the direction of the Leesburg Walmart or towards its downtown area.

The filling station would be more popular for those south of 44 that go to Walmart etc. The 44/ Thomas Ave. route is used by so many living near 44.

You are just making #$@& up. I never said anything about mail.

Never paranoid, just aware of my surroundings. It’s a military thing. Schema is recorded that there are 3, and they can simultaneously approach a vehicle on both sides.

I'm going to go out on a limb bet that the "shooter" was not a card-carrying NRA member, much less had a CC permit. just sayin.

The 3 that is going to approach you aggressively? I’m guessing it is just good to be alert to your surroundings for the time being.

They are probably no where near here now.

One would think that three could simultaneously approach a vehicle from three sides, not just two.

Easy fix - don't drive into Leesburg for gas. The walmart or the station at Lake Deaton is easier to get to and likely safer.

Crime happens, find something more sensational to get excited about.

I looked carefully where this Walmart location is. It is the same one I wrote about years ago when husband wanted to quickly go around TV to go to a Walmart. There is designated police parking right in front. We have never been to a Walmart where it was necessary to designate parking spots for police. We went in the store - once, never again. Husband decided the long way in TV was ok with him afterwards.

For the record, those ‘police only parking’ spots exist at malls, plazas and retail centers across the country. It’s a courtesy. Doesn’t mean you’re in Hell’s Kitchen! (Apologies to gentrified Hell’s Kitchen for the sarcasm!)
