Earlier today, Raleigh residents near the Star Bar were shaken awake by the sound of gunfire. Police were called to the scene at the establishment on Trawick Road in east Raleigh before the dawn had even begun to chase away the night's obsidian grip. According to WRAL, while shots were fired outside the Raleigh bar, it was a stroke of luck that left no one injured in the incident.
The nearing close of the weekend did not seem to deter the patrons inside the StarBar Raleigh, who were there when the incident abruptly unfolded. In an effort to swiftly respond, officers from the Raleigh Police Department were dispatched, arriving posthaste to find multiple vehicles suffering from the bullet's touch, evidencing the potential for harm. According to a report by CBS 17, the scene outside the nightclub was cordoned off with the yellow tape that whispers of danger, encompassing not only the Star Bar but also an adjacent parking lot on New Bern Avenue.
While the circumstances that led to the discharge of firearms remain a puzzle yet unsolved, it is clear that the incident has left an indelible mark on the community's sense of security. The Raleigh Police Department is currently investigating the details surrounding the shots and attempting to piece together the events that unfolded this morning.
