Due to the coronavirus, there was a masking order.

Prosecutors say Walker yelled and cursed at Pringle as he carried him out of the store. Once outside, Pringle first shot Walker down, prosecutors said.

Pringle was charged with aggravated battery. Pringle’s attorney, Chaz Ball, declined to speak on behalf of the newspaper.

Walker was charged with several crimes, including resisting arrest and assault. These charges were dropped in November. He pleaded guilty to violating orders in a state of emergency and was released on parole.
