♦ Sometime prior to midnight Saturday night the pap-pap-pap of semi-automatic gunfire and women screaming could be heard on Church Street after a Livingstone College party broke up at Bounce City at 120 North Church Street near Council Street in Salisbury. The gunfire could be heard up and down Council Street all the way over to Innes Street by Saint John’s Lutheran and the County Administration building. A short time later stillness settled over the area as the shooters fled the area.
Before long the screaming sirens of Salisbury Police vehicles were heard arriving in the area before they filled up North Church. Car doors slammed. Livingstone students spilled out into the streets and police investigators fanned out. Trouble in the Bury.
Several area residents, a good friend of the Editor, and Associate Editor/Salisbury Attorney Todd Paris confirmed the shooting. Paris reported hearing multiple rapid fire shots from his Council Street home.
No injuries were reported.
At this time no motives for shootings were disclosed and no suspects were yet mentioned by law enforcement.
If someone has information about the shootings please call the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333 or Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
