25-year old Raeshean Calhoun was shot in the parking lot of a Walmart in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in what may have been a drug deal gone bad.  He then ran into the store and was eventually taken to the hospital for treatment.

From an article:

Raeshean Calhoun, 25, was shot in the hip about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Fayetteville police said.
Calhoun was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for treatment. He was not listed as a patient in the hospital Friday night.
Police have not named any suspects and are continuing to investigate, said Lt. Todd Joyce, spokesman with the Fayetteville Police Department.
"At this point in the investigation, detectives have information that this might be in relation to the exchange of narcotics," he said.

This is not the first shooting at that Walmart store. From the same article:

Walmart on Skibo Road has had problems with crime before. In March 2011, it ceased operating 24 hours a day following a violent robbery and a shooting.
At the time, Fayetteville police reported that Walmart had four times the calls for service as the city's other two Walmarts.
Walmart.  Save money.  Die faster.
