Seven people were injured in an early morning shooting in Kinston Sunday.

Police say the seven men were shot with two separate guns. It all happened after a brawl broke out inside the Stop One Restaurant on South Queen Street in Kinston, according to authorities.

Officials are still searching for the shooters in the case, but say the area around the restaurant has a long history of shootings and stabbings. Since 2000, police have reported over 40 cases of shootings and stabbings in and around the restaurant.

Kinston police say right now they have no suspects in the shooting, but investigators believe there was more than one gunman.

Police say they were notified of the shooting when the victims showed up at Lenoir Memorial Hospital.

Two of the victims, Michael Davis, Jr. and Rodric Harrison, were transferred to Pitt County Memorial Hospital. A hospital spokeswoman says Harrison is in serious condition, while Davis is listed in good condition at PCMH.

A third victim, Allen Simon, went to Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro where he was treated and released.

Four other victims, Stefon Robinson, Johnny Waters, Tyrone Whitfield, and Carlton Bryant were all treated and released from the hospital.

I can't go to walmart in greenville, i can't eat at Stop One Restaurant in kinston. You can't order pizza, because he's getting robbed and shooting back. And Anonymous, surveillance equipment and monitors won't stop people, you should know that. How many times have you watched the news a banks and gas stations have the person on film robbing the place. I live by the amendments. 2nd amendment, right to Guarantees an Individual Right To Keep and Bear Arms, I have a sigh outside my gate....no trespassers, violators will be shot, survivors will be shot again! Plus I have 4 rottweilers. But I have realized that after a certain time you can't be out. Its almost like the good people have a curfew.

Did anyone notice that their sign on the window misspelled the word restaurant? They spelled it resturant.

Are they (shooters) some of Greenville finest thugs that were stupid and got lost. They may actually get caught in Kinston so they better head back to Greenville before its to late. Heres a shout out to Chief Anderson, thanks for the business!

Is there any better reason to allow law abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons? These "heroic" thugs feed off of cowardly intimidation. It is a shame that such crap is going on in this town! I applaud our law officials who are working to combat this problem.

Isn't this the place that several people got shot a couple of months ago?

Posted by: Joseph Location: Kinston on Jul 7, 2008 at 06:49 PM
That just tells you that they need to clean East Kinston up. That whole area is just a bunch of drug activity. As for the girl that her brother shot sorry but bad things happen when u r at bad places. Any time u r out at that time of night u are just looking for trouble

"I was cleaning my gun when all of a sudden it went off." Sounds like gang activity.

Sounds like suspicious activity to me.
