There’s been another shooting in Greensboro – this time at Sedgefield Country Club.
Fortunately, the man was only grazed by the bullet and he declined medical care.
The investigation into the shooting is in the preliminary stages. However, it appears that the shooting of the 57-year-old man who was dining outside on the patio at the country club was accidental.
According to a press release from the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department, the man was likely hit by a stray bullet fired from a good distance away.
Despite the fact that preventing shootings has been a focal point of law enforcement and local elected leaders in Guilford County, shootings – accidental, random and targeted – are occurring more and more in places where people have felt very safe in the past. In February, for instance, there was a highly unusual shooting in Irving Park and law enforcement officials said after that shooting that gun violence was happening these days in unexpected places.
On Wednesday, June 9, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department reported that on Tuesday, June 8 at 6:53 p.m., the department got a report that a man had been wounded while dining at Sedgefield Country Club at 3201 Forsyth Dr. in Greensboro.
According to the press release, someone from Sedgefield Country Club reported that the “victim was dining outside on the patio when a stray bullet struck him in the head.”
The victim received a “superficial” wound to the top of his head and he chose not to be treated by EMS.
According to the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department, it appears the shooting was accidental – possibly with a bullet fired into the air from some point in the distance.
The Sheriff’s Department is asking anyone who has information regarding the shooting to contact the department’s District 3 Office at 336-641-6691.
Why didn’t he take out his 2nd amendment and fire back?
Brilliant.
Why don’t you appear to be brilliant? It’s really quite simple. Just think of something totally asinine to say and then don’t say it. You’ve already mastered the first part.
I understand that bullet was meant for a mother-in-law’s daughter’s uncle hiding in a bush. Sorry, GW.
Wow, I’d say shrinking the number of police officers is working real well!
You know… Ol’ Name star has it all figured out don’t he? I hope your daughter’s all get knocked up by Tea Party Republicans as soon as they reach the age of consent. Karma is a wonderful thing!
It’s good to know only the law is holding you back from being a pedophile. Especially in this state, you’re dreaming about 16 year old girls getting knocked up, possibly younger.
Just saying just curious do your kids celebrate pride month together with you
