Main Street just before 5 p.m. on Thursday. He was rushed to the hospital with injuries that could kill him. Police said Wednesday that the teen’s health has gotten better and that he is now stable.
It looked like the shooting started at an apartment complex and moved ways down the road. Charlitta Burruss was around East Main and South Elm streets when shots were fired. “I was sitting in my car, reading some mail like a typical citizen would do,” Burruss said. “Shots rang out, cars are scurrying, people are running, the police came from everywhere.”
