GREENSBORO — Six teens were arrested or cited Thursday night after a gun was fired near downtown Greensboro among a large group of teens. There were also fights breaking out amongst the group.
Those charged or cited Thursday included:
•Kenyon C. Jordan, 20, charged with carrying a concealed gun and discharging a firearm inside the city limits;
•George McCoy, 16, charged with affray;
•Steven Lloyd, 16, cited for disorderly conduct;
•Shyquan Chavis, 16, cited for assault on a law enforcement officer and resist, delay and obstruct a law enforcement officer.
•Two juveniles were charged on juvenile referrals for disorderly conduct. Officers were called to St. John's Lodge at 1107 E. Market St. about 11:30 p.m. after a gun was fired, according to police. Officers saw about 200 teens leave the building.
As people were leaving the building, someone began firing a gun into the air, according to police.
Additional police came to help with crowd control and to find the person firing the gun.
Police said no one was injured.
Officers detained three people for firing the gun, and Jordan was ultimately charged. Officers seized the gun.
Fights continued to break out among the group as it moved along East Market Street, police said. The crowd broke up about 1 a.m.
The area where the crowd was located is outside the area where teens are prohibited after 11 p.m. due to a city-mandated curfew. The eastern boundary for Market Street only extends to Church Street. St. John's Lodge is near South Dudley Street.
At city council's meeting to discuss implementing a curfew, Councilwoman Nancy Vaughan expressed concern that if teens were kept out of downtown, they would gather in other parts of the city and cause the same types of problems.
Be no good inna fight. He be stoopit AND affray!
Agreed, it was creative and funny. That’s doubleplusgood.
Ever read the parable about how to catch wild hogs?
If not, there's a lesson in your words.
You can have beer any time you want... (unless you’re at my house and we’re down to the last beer). /smile
An affray? I thought these events were called melees.
Yes I have and that is the way the old timers did it. After they caught them, they would feed them corn for a while until they lost the wild taste and gained some weight. Then they were killed and ate.
Awesome! I’ll remember that.
It was probably the Sharks and the Jets facing off.
