Overnight North Carolina drive-by shooting leaves 5 injured
In a city more famous for its fabled minor league baseball team than gunfire, five people were injured in an overnight drive-by shooting in Durham, North Carolina.
Police told WRAL about 36 rounds were fired by four different people near Fayetteville Street and Linwood Avenue. Durham police are looking for the four shooters and two vehicles involved.
The shooting happened near an internet gaming café called City of Gold.
One person shot is reported to be in critical condition. Four others are reported as stable.
Durham is home of the Durham Bulls, a Class AAA affiliate of Major League Baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays, and the setting of the 1988 film “Bull Durham,” starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.
