Chattanooga police say a man was shot Tuesday morning by an employee of a gas station in Lookout Valley.

It happened just after midnight at Circle K in the 200 block of Browns Ferry Road.

Surveillance video shows employee, 28-year-old Anthony Visher, shooting an unidentified man from the checkout counter, according to a police report.

The report says Visher began arguing with two customers at the register before throwing items at them.

The report says one of the customers retaliated by throwing a drink at Visher before he tried to leave the store.

That's when Visher fired a gun, hitting the man in the leg.

The shooting victim was taken to a local hospital by the other person he was with at the store.

Visher was arrested and faces several charges, including attempted first degree murder.

Visher remains in jail on a $160,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on August 9.
