  Walker Street scene of reported Sunday shooting web posted March 24, 2010 JOHNSTON – Johnston Police are still investigating a report of a shooting that allegedly took place Sunday afternoon on Walker Street. Johnston Police were called to the reported shooting at 1:48 pm and an ambulance was dispatched to the scene. Once officers arrived they could not find a victim and found it difficult to obtain information on the incident. Early information was the man was bleeding from the face, but it was unknown if he was shot or possibly hit with a brick. An incident report released on Tuesday stated, “No one saw a thing,” regarding several people that were standing around the scene when police arrived. A Walker Street man told police that he was asleep in his bed when he heard a lot of noise outside and a man burst through his front door saying he had been shot and was bleeding from his face. The man continued to run out the back door with “around five other black males chasing him”. According to the report, the fight may have been about some “bad drugs” that were sold to someone. It was not the first report of problems for the day. Around 2 am Sunday morning an officer on foot patrol on Calhoun Street witnessed a dark colored SUV and a white sedan pull into a parking lot and two black males jumped out of the vehicles and charged a small group of people. The officer jumped in his patrol car and headed for the scene but the two vehicles departed before his arrival. According to a witness the men jumped out and hit the victim in the head with a silver handgun causing a laceration. When questioned by officers, the victim stated “nothing happened to his head” and that he “did not want to press any charges”. Moments later Johnston Police were called to the 300 block of Walker Street to a report of a dark SUV at the location with at least two black males having a gun. When the officers arrived on the scene the SUV was gone and individuals in the area did not see or hear anything. Both cases remain active, reports stated. © Copyright 2010
