Criminal Lawyers in Greensboro North Carolina

The short version

It seems the JC Penny parking lot is a popular place for shopping and also shootings??? This is the third shooting in a number of years, all in the same parking lot according to our criminal lawyers in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was 3:40 PM when shots rang out in the parking lot.

A man standing at the mall saw a woman with her three kids in the parking lot at the time of the shooting. A shooting lawyer in Greensboro advises that she was seen putting her children underneath a truck to protect them and keep them safe. Come on Greensboro, these are kids! Our criminal defense attorneys in Greensboro, NC were told that witnesses saw a car pull up and a person inside open fire in a drive-by shooting at the shopping mall.

A person, who is yet to be identified was taken to a local hospital after being shot multiple times. Our lawyers in Greensboro, NC were told that no one else was hurt and that this is believed to be an isolated incident.

At Garrett, Walker, Aycoth & Olson, attorneys at law, our Greensboro criminal lawyers see these situations play out on a regular basis. Sadly, this couldn’t be a worse time for the mall, who needs the business to survive. The pandemic plus shootings equals a no go for a lot of people. There are a lot of workers in Guilford County who depend on the mall for employment and also for shopping. The thoughts and prayers of all of our defense attorneys in Greensboro, NC go out to the man who was shot for a speedy recovery. We’re also praying for those who have been traumatized by this incident. Stay safe Greensboro!
