One arrested after shooting at Casa Grande Goodwill

As if Casa Grande residents needed ANOTHER reason to cut ties and run away from the failing, drug infested city, one arrested after shooting at Casa Grande Goodwill (how ironic, ‘Good Will’). Seems a man has been arrested after a shooting that happened Thursday afternoon at a Goodwill location in Casa Grande.

Casa Grande police say they got a report of a shooting near a Goodwill store on Thursday around 4:30 p.m. near E. Florence Blvd. and N. Colorado St. When they arrived they found a man lying on the ground and saw another man running away from the scene. The wounded man was taken to a nearby hospital for surgery and is stable, officials say.
