ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) – As people were enjoying a night out in downtown Roanoke, a shooting broke out at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning in a parking lot in the 100 block Campbell Avenue near Market Street.
Two men are in Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital with gun shot wounds. One was taken with serious injuries, and the other got to Carilion by a personal car and has non-life-threatening injuries.
Folks waited in a long line for Father’s Day Brunch at Scrambled Sunday morning, while just a few feet away, police were staged at the crime scene on Campbell Avenue.
“It’s unfortunate,” Garry Fleming, Co-Owner of Scrambled Restaurant, said.
This shooting is one of several that has taken place downtown in recent years.
“Businesses now with all that we have to go through with COVID, trying to make it, and something like this happens, it’s just one more thing, we don’t want people to be afraid to come downtown,” Fleming said.
