Employees told police unruly teenagers were fighting inside the store and breaking merchandise.

An employee asked them to leave. Police say a teen drew a handgun and shot the employee. The employee was taken to a hospital with injuries police describe as “non-life-threatening.”

Police arrested Brown early Sunday morning. He remained in custody Monday at the Anchorage jail.
