Rogers and Flemming were outside the center when the shooting occurred, police said. Flemming was able to run inside the center where facility manager Dank Hawkins took him into a safe room, called 911 and gave him medical treatment until police and EMS arrived.
Flemming is listed in stable condition. Rogers has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
