gun violence

In the wake of last week’s shooting by a Winston-Salem teenager, questions are emerging about the role that parents, police, and society may play in fueling violent outbreaks like this one.

The shooting occurred in a parking lot outside Truist Stadium. Law enforcement officials are pointing toward the "chaos" caused by unaccompanied minors in downtown Winston-Salem.

The report shows guns were involved in roughly 80% of homicides over the past decade in Guilford and Forsyth counties.

The Winston-Salem State University campus was on lockdown after a gun was fired and a student was hurt on Wednesday night, according to a university spokesperson. The student is in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooting occurred in November 2020, during a time of racial reckoning over police killings. Fred Cox died after a drive-by shooting following a funeral in High Point.

The shooting took place more than two weeks ago but police didn’t provide details of the incident until late Thursday night.

North Carolina received $3.5 million in federal Victim of Crime Act funds. It's a far cry from it's peak of more than $100 million just a few years ago, and it comes as the violent crime rate in many of North Carolina’s rural areas is on the rise.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is calling for metal detectors to be used in schools every day after a gun was found on campus this week. But district officials say that will require more funding and manpower than they currently have.
