Previously: Two men are facing charges following a shooting at a York County furniture store on Friday morning.
Kirk Olivier, 20, of Columbia, was arrested Friday night. He is charged with criminal attempted homicide and two counts of aggravated assault. Another man, Michael Charon Whitt, 23, of York, is charged with simple assault and possession of a firearm prohibited.
Shots rang out shortly after 11 a.m. on Feb. 24 at the Price Busters Discount Furniture Store located at 1900 Industrial Highway in Springettsbury Township.
The shooting at the store began as a physical altercation between the two men a day before, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Police allege that Olivier was shopping at a business in the 100 block of East Princess Street on Feb. 23 when Whitt entered the store around 7:20 p.m. and approached him, hitting him across the face.
Olivier retreated as Whitt pulled out a concealed handgun and pointed it at the other suspect. Olivier was able to elude Whitt, at which point he put the pistol back in his waistband and left the store.
Whitt is not legally able to posses a gun due to a previous charge of possession of a firearm by a minor.
The day after this incident, Olivier was inside Price Busters Discount Furniture Store when Whitt entered the business. Witnesses and surveillance footage corroborate that Olivier pulled out a concealed pistol when he saw Whitt and began shooting at him. Whitt fled the area.
Police say they found Whitt at a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. He was allegedly not seen using a gun during the second incident.
Springettsbury Township Police Chief Todd King told FOX43 News on Friday that there were reportedly as many as 20 shots fired, although he could not confirm that exact number.
Several schools within the Central York School District and York Suburban School District were placed on lockdown when the incident occurred as a precaution.
Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to call Detective Corporal Russell Schauer with the Springettsbury Township Police Department at 717-757-3525.
