PINEVILLE, N.C. — One person is in the hospital and one person is in police custody following a street takeover and a shooting in Pineville on Sunday.
Pineville police responded to a street takeover in the Park Road area near Park 51 Shops just after 4 a.m. Sunday. Police said multiple vehicles gathered and “engaged in reckless driving, including burnouts and donuts in a parking lot.”
Police had received multiple 911 calls about a large crowd, vehicles blocking traffic, and possible shots fired.
A fight had broken out at the event, and one person fired a weapon multiple times, hitting a vehicle and striking one victim in the leg, according to reports.
The victim has been transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
Channel 9’s Glenn Counts was at the scene Sunday evening and saw several pairs of sandals left from Sunday morning.
Shoppers like Bruce Davis told Counts that they find events like these to be troubling.
“To me, it’s quite a bit of a concern,” he said. “To me, there is no control. You have no security. When you go out, like to the shopping center, you don’t know what you’re going to run into. These kids are mostly gangs. They have no respect for life.”
One person has been arrested in connection with the fight, but no shooting suspects have been named.
The Pineville Police Department has asked that anyone with video, photos, or information from the event call 704-889-2231.
No additional details have been made available.
