EAST SPENCER, NC — A four-year-old is recovering after being hit by a bullet during a deadly shooting in Rowan County. Β Two other young children were also in the line of fire, but were not hurt.
Investigators say someone fired into Lamont Sweat’s car with the children inside. Β He tried to drive to the hospital, but crashed on the way and died.
The shooting happened outside Sweat’s apartment on South Long Street. Β Police say he made it about two miles to Annandale Avenue in Salisbury. Β We talked to one concerned neighbor who did not want to show her face.
“It can kind of shake you up, because as you know, a bullet can travel a long many miles, and like I said, I have an 82-year old mother that lives here and those bullets could have ricocheted and hit anybody,” she said.
If you know anything that can help police find the gunman, call Salisbury-Rowan Crimestoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
