A short time later, Wise returned to the parking lot as a passenger in a vehicle, where the victim and others were standing. As he passed by Wise was seen pointing the shotgun out the passenger window toward them, deputies said. The victims told deputies they ducked behind cars in the parking lot and heard a loud bang as the vehicle Wise was in drove away.
