GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Greensboro Police Department (GPD) is searching for two suspects involved in a shooting Saturday night near the UNC Greensboro campus that sent at least one victim to the hospital.
The shooting incident happened between 10 and 11 p.m. on Spring Garden St., according to Ron Glenn, GPD public information officer.
UNC Greensboro posted on Facebook at 10:55 p.m. that the shooting happened in the area of Mother Tucker's Eatery.
After the shooting, a victim left the scene and Greensboro police located them at the Circle K on W. Gate City Blvd, Glenn said.
The victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Saturday night, police officers used crime scene tape to surround a car in the parking lot of a Wendy's fast food restaurant on Gate City Boulevard near South Josephine Boyd St.
The silver car in the Wendy's parking lot had two bullet holes in the rear passenger window.
The shooting remains under investigation on Sunday by the Greensboro Police Department, according to Glenn.
'All I could see was blood on his shirt'
WFMY News 2 spoke with a Wendy's drive-thru employee who saw the shooting victim and called 911.
"Taking orders, that's all I was doing. The guy literally came out of nowhere, talking about, 'I'm shot, I'm shot,' " said Shikira Mozelle.
"He came up, tapped on my window... All I could see was blood on his shirt, he looked like he got grazed though," Mozelle said.
Mozelle said she quickly dialed 911 while her manager took over the orders in the drive-through window.
The Wendy's continued selling food and cars used the drive-through during the police investigation and search, Mozelle said.
