Police were called to the scene about 10:40 a.m. after getting a call about a shooting, according to Lt. Raul Denis with Horry County police.
However, when authorities arrived there were no victims at the scene, Denis said.
Witnesses told The Sun News that a blue Ford SUV pulled into the parking lot, followed by a Lexus, and the driver of the Ford, a white male, was shot at by the driver of the Lexus.
“He wasn’t aiming to hurt him. He was just trying to stop him,” said Sarah Duff, witness at the scene, who operates a nearby shop.
Sunhouse employees and witnesses were locked in the convenience store as the incident occurred. As of noon, the man who reportedly shot at the driver of the blue SUV, was being questioned by Horry County Police and was taken from the scene by police.
The driver of the SUV and a woman with him fled on foot, according to witnesses.
Police are on scene investigating to determine if anyone has been injured.

Terminals, POS, Kiosks, etc.”
Other directives by the CBN to banks include: “Approval of BVN

into their accounts, per customer, per day.

It will be recalled that in furtherance of efforts in the development of
a safe, reliable and efficient payments system in Nigeria, the CBN in
conjunction with the Bankers’ Committee, undertook some major
initiatives. One of such was the launching of the BVN Project in
February 2014, which was sponsored by the bankers committee.
The CBN had observed the progress so far in the implementation of BVN
Project. In order to increase the tempo in the enrolment by the Deposit
Money Banks (DMBs) customers on the the BVN, and to start reaping the
benefits of the project, it is imperative to stipulate milestone for the
implementation of the Project.
The CBN had in an earlier circular stated: “All stakeholders are hereby
advised to note and implement the following: That by March 2015,
transactions valued at N100,000,000.00 (One hundred million Naira) and
above, should be allowed for customers with the BVN; (These include, but
not limited to, money transfers, loans, contingencies, etc). It saidt
that by June 2015, all banks’ customers should have BVN. Any bank
customer without the BVN would be deemed to have inadequate Know Your
Customer, KYC. DMBs should intensify efforts to sensitize their
customers on the aforementioned development and enrol them for the BVN
accordingly. It further said that DMBs are required to submit to NIBSS,
as part of their weekly returns on Customers Account Details, the
account status of customers that have submitted their BVN and those that
have not. NIBSS in turn, will render consolidated returns to the CBN,
on weekly basis, starting from 1st October 2015.”
It should be noted also that the CBN had told banks operating in the
country that bank accounts without the BankVerification Number (BVN)
would be operated as “No Customer Initiated Debit”.
The apex bank said this in a circular titled: “Classification on
Accounts with BVN Related Issues” sent to all commercial banks and
posted on its website.
The circular had said that such accounts would remain dormant until the
account holder obtains and attaches the BVN to the account.
The circular read: “It has, however, come to our notice, that some
customers could not link their BVN to their accounts.This is due to
discrepancies between the record on the BVN database and the records on
the core banking applications of the DMBs.
“Such customers can approach their bankers for correction, but some of
the banks could not effect the corrections.”
The apex bank, in the circular, said that in view of this development,
it had become imperative for the CBN to issue the clarifications. It
said that such clarifications included corrections of Date of Birth on
the BVN record. This should be allowed once, with supporting documents,
evidencing the correct date of birth. The CBN said that change of names
due to marriage should be allowed with supporting documents, such as
marriage certificates or affidavits, among others.
The apex bank said that minor correction of names, due to misspelling
should be allowed, with supporting documents such as international
passport, showing the correct name.
According to CBN, change of names that are totally different should only
be allowed after customer has produced supporting documents.
The CBN had said that this should be reported to the Nigerian Financial
Intelligence Unit (NFIU) as a suspicious transaction by the bank
customer
