IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — Some residents in Iredell County said their homes were struck during a shootout that deputies said may have started over a case of road rage.
Chopper 9 Skyzoom flew over the scene off Interstate 77, just south of Statesville, on Thursday. Channel 9’s Dave Faherty was first on the scene at Wall Street, where a large police presence could be seen.
Two cars were seen with damage in the area, but one eyewitness said that as many as five people were involved in the shooting.
State troopers told Faherty that one of the weapons used in the shootout was an assault rifle.
One woman took Faherty around her home and showed him where bullets struck her residence.
She said there were children in her home at the time of the shootout. She said they dropped to the floor to duck for cover as shots rang out for about three minutes.
Thursday’s police presence could be seen from Chopper 9 Skyzoom as deputies and state troopers attempted to locate the suspects.
Police have identified three suspects: Antonieo Yurome Clark, 18, Noel Ethan Alexander, 25, and Chakrisis La’Richard Ramseur, 24.
It is believed that both parties involved in the shootout left from a local job fair. The suspects began shooting at the victims as they approached Wall Street, and then the victims returned fire, police said.
Police said they believe the three suspects then fled on foot.
Channel 9 checked over the jail and has not yet seen any arrests.
No additional details have been made available.
