Gunfire on Glenwood South draws Raleigh police. One suspect is in custody

Police are investigating a reported shooting at an apartment building in Glenwood South, an incident that caused only minor injuries but startled the busy downtown district.

No one was injured by gunfire, which drew a massive response on West North Street at about 6:30 p.m. Police Lt. Jason Borneo said officers had one person in custody and could locate no gunshot victims.

Multiple people took to social media reporting an agitated man on a balcony, and one Reddit poster captured a video of a man falling off what appeared to be a second-story patio.

Another Reddit post reported, “Around 630p it sounded like multiple gunshots were fired by possibly a man screaming his head off. Tried calling 911 and no one picked up. I’m not sure if it was gun. Stay safe because s*** is crazy outside.”

It did not appear anyone had been charged in the incident by early Monday.

Anyone with information is asked to visit Crimestoppers at www.p3tips.com/89 or to call 919-996-1193.
