'It sounded like a war zone for 20 seconds' drive-by shooting captured on video in downtown Greensboro

Greensboro Police said the video captures the shooting as people in two cars fired their weapons while driving on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro Police have released a surveillance video of a drive-by shooting.

Police said the video captures the shooting as people in two cars fired their weapons while driving on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

It happened on November 15, as the drivers in a silver sedan and another light gold Range Rover shot at each other.

The sound of the bullets flying sends a shiver down the spine. 

"It was crazy," Marc Somar said. He's an employee at Dames Chicken and Waffles.

The shooting happened right by that restaurant and Haven Salon. 

Stylist Aimee Ingram said the area is always busy, and it worries her.

"People live here, I know there’s a family that’s lives upstairs, like I know there’s little kids all around here and that’s terrifying."

Police say the shooting happened at 10:15 p.m. that Friday. Dames Chicken and Waffles closes at 10, but Somar said some employees were still inside and heard the whole thing. 

"They were inside cleaning up and they said they just heard two cars coming down it almost sounded like a war zone for about 15-20 seconds," Somar explained. "So the next morning we came in and we actually saw bullet casings in front of the restaurant, anywhere from like 10-20 casings."

Police say no one was injured.

If you have any information call Greensboro Crime Stoppers at 373-1000.
