Shots rang out, injuring two men at a Durham flea market crowded with dozens of customers and workers Sunday afternoon, police said.

Witnesses said a 19-year-old man was involved in an argument with several men at Durham Green Flea Market, 1600 E. Pettigrew St., around 1 p.m. moments before shots were fired.

Police said the 19-year-old was shot eight times, and a 31-year-old man was shot in the right leg. Their names and conditions were not released.

The suspects may have fled in a red, four-door sedan.

Anyone with information or who was in the 1600 block of East Pettigrew Street around 1 p.m. Sunday is asked to call Durham police at 919-560-4600.

Piene2: So what exactly do you propose as a solution?

"I wonder if the shooter bought his six shooter at the flea market or just happened to have a few laying around. piene2

piene2, Thank you for your insightful contribution; as always you never cease to amaze... fishon"

You are more then welcome. It always amazes me that people are too obtuse to realize that illegal six gun numbers rise in direct proportion to the number of legal six guns floating around

Just another day in the Triangle. Bang bang bang...it's just so common it barely makes a headline. Instead, the headlines are: "Choose Life license plate is unconstitutional" and "no turkey abuse found at Butterball."

It's a pathetic state of affairs with the prevalence of shootings around here.

men in a red car ... sooooo can this be at least more descriptive?

The reason we are here is to learn to control our emotions the right way. Not with materialistic happiness but by using the love and joy and understanding within us. Love is acceptance, accept your fellow man without judgment for judgment is only a sign that you expect a person to be just like you and that is not the case. We are all one but each on different journeys to learn and this chapter ID learning to control our emotions which is why we are dealt the bad hard times and the way most act you have a long way to grow. For money a fancy home nice car and hundreds of friends do not make you a better person.
