Investigators believe Galvan entered the store and got into a confrontation with the cashier, 23-year-old Jonathan Enriquez, who apparently shot Galvan after both men brandished firearms during the skirmish.

Galvan was transported to an area hospital for treatment and police established probable cause to charge him on suspicion of attempted assault and possession of a deadly weapon.

Detectives say it's unclear what prompted the altercation and an investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
