RALEIGH, N.C. — An active search remains underway in Raleigh for whoever shot two men outside a Biscuitville on Wake Forest Road on Thursday morning.
An employee from Biscuitville helped call 911 when two men were shot outside the restaurant.
According to the Raleigh Police Department, officers around 6 a.m. responded to a shooting on Wake Forest Road at Hodges Street, in front of Biscuitville. The entire intersection was closed and taped off with crime scene tape.
Police said two men were transported to a hospital; one had serious injuries and the other had non-life-threatening injuries.
A spokesperson from Biscuitville said: “Biscuitville employees and customers were not involved in this incident. Our team helped one of the injured parties call 911 for medical help. We have closed our restaurant for the day and are cooperating with law enforcement as they investigate this incident.”
Wake Forest Road was closed between Creekside Drive and Hodges Street for the entire morning commute.
Raleigh police officers were looking for a suspect who they believe is at-large. They believe the incident was isolated and there is no danger to the public.
Local businesses riddled with bullet holes, employees scared for their lives
Raleigh Police data shows in the last year there has been 26 crime reports on that block alone.
Those who own businesses near the shooting said they are scared for their lives. Many of the businesses in the Paula Street area are riddled with bullet holes still. This as the suspect in this early morning shooting has not yet been caught
One business owner says his camera captured two speeding cars. He has turned it over to police.
"I came to my office said what in the world is going on?" he said. "There were bullet casings everywhere."
One man who owns properties on this street, where several clubs sit, said he is too scared to show his face, or use his real voice for fear of retaliation.
"There is nowhere in Raleigh I'm aware of any more dangerous than right here," he said.
He and other witnesses tell WRAL News the shooting started at Victory Raleigh, which used to be Club Dreams, where in August of last year six teens were shot.
"It's like we have accepted the fact there is gonna be a shooting here," he said.
Police at first thought a crash nearby on I-440, which happened around the same time as the shooting, was related – but later said it wasn't.
