Gunfire again on city streets
After several weeks of relative calm, gunfire erupted again this week on consecutive days in two Elizabeth City residential neighborhoods. As many as 20 shots were fired, several hitting houses and cars, on Sunday, Jan. 13, on Bunnels Avenue. Then on Monday, Jan. 14, several more shots were fired in the Laurel Park area. Miraculously, no one was hit by the gunfire, but if the shooting continues it’s only a matter of time before there are innocent victims. Many residents are asking what is it going to take for local police to get this under control, and to insure safety in local neighborhoods?
