Original story:
A man was shot to death Monday outside a convenience store and gas station in East Anchorage, police said. As of early evening, police had not announced any arrests and said no additional information was being released.
Officers responded to the Holiday station on Mountain View Drive near McCarrey Street at about 10:15 a.m. after reports of shots fired, and found a man with life-threatening injuries, police said in an online alert. Lifesaving measures failed and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Sgt. Frank Stanfield said at the scene the man was involved in “an altercation where shots were fired” outside the gas station. A spokeswoman for the police department said there were no further details available Monday afternoon.
