♦ Readers may remember the East Innes Street Waffle House window blowout a few weeks ago when a window was shot out during a children’s party. This problem was “solved” by a sign that bans all weapons from the property including the parking lot. It must be working. Don’t see many customers down there in the evening. Certainly none sitting by the windows.
On Saturday, January 30, at closing, the perpetrators must have been frightened by the Waffle House “no weapons allowed” sign into cruising over to East Innes to newly renovated Wendy’s right next door. Wendy’s suffered a projectile impact of it’s own to the glass windows while the employees were present on the premises. Fortunately the Wendy’s glass was tempered and double-paned and was able to withstand the impact without allowing a projectile to enter the building. Police on the scene “claimed” that just like the Waffle House shooting that this was some sort of “BB gun” or gas pellet rifle. The projectile hole looks pretty large to us. It would seem that if the laminated glass is double paned and only one shattered, that any projectile might be trapped between the panes of glass.
Do our Salisbury Police actually have an experienced investigator capable of judging a ballistics glass impact? Investigator Sherry Curry left the big team sometime back. Lately shootings and murders are being downplayed or are not being reported in the Bury. Kinda disturbing.
