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.

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.
