Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem police officers are investigating the apparent discharge of a firearm on Polo Road at 1:04 a.m. tonight, Oct. 26, near the entrance to campus. No evidence was found of anything or anyone being struck by a bullet.
University Police Department officers in the area heard five gunshots at the time. They suspect they were fired from a weapon in a vehicle that was being driven on Polo Road past the University, toward University Parkway.
No officers, actually, saw a weapon fired, but they did hear apparent shots fired. And, an immediate investigation found an empty shell casing in the area.
On Sept. 16, a bullet was fired into a University-owned house on Polo Road, in front of campus. No one was injured.
Anyone with information that may assist in the investigation is asked to call University Police at 336-758-5591 or the Winston-Salem Police Department at 336-773-7700.
