| Monday the 4th of April was a bloody day even by Durhams violent standards. There were at least three shootings in the Bull City, starting out at about 4am when a 22 year old man was shot and critically wounded. He was shot in the head and chest in what appeared to be an ambush style shooting and left to die outside an apartment at the Beech Lake community. In the late afternoon another man was shot in a drive-by on Lodge St. in the exact spot where two people were shot in a car, 'Execution style' two weeks ago. About the same time, police recovered an 'Uzi' sub-machine gun that appeared to have been thrown from a vehicle on Linwood Ave. next to the Lincoln Community Health Center. Later in the evening, two people were shot, including a woman after the SUV they were riding in was sprayed with gunfire on Holloway St. Then as if that were not enough, came news that a man shot in the head last week on Grace Ln. had died from his injuries. |
