Then we fast forward to last night. There were two separate shootings in Greensboro within the span of a half-hour according to our firearm by felon lawyer. The first occurred on McIntosh St in Greensboro. One person was shot, according to a felony lawyer in Greensboro and taken to a local hospital.

Then within twenty minutes, there was yet another shooting on Cedar Park Road. That person was also hospitalized according to criminal defense attorneys at Garrett, Walker, Aycoth & Olson, Attorneys at Law.
