Cars hit by bullets in Durham prior to gun-violence gathering
DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- An hour before Durham officials gathered to talk about gun violence in the Bull City, shots rang out on North Roxboro Road, striking two vehicles.
A pickup and a transit van raveling southbound were hit.
The back window of the pickup was blown out and the driver stopped under the I-85 overpass.
The transit van continued under the interstate and stopped further up the hill.
Neither driver was injured.
Police are only saying the shots were fired from a black Chevy Tahoe.
The shooting happened just about a mile from another shooting into a car Sunday night.
That car, riddled with bullets, had five children inside.
An eight-year-old boy was shot in the arm.
Another bullet hit 9-year-old Zion Person in the head.
Police are asking anyone who saw something Thursday afternoon during the Roxboro Road shooting or has information about the crime to contact them.
