RALEIGH, N.C. — An east Raleigh restaurant was the scene of several stabbings and a shooting within a 24-hour window, according to Raleigh police.

Early Sunday at 1:30 a.m., police responded to a stabbing at Star Bar, located at 1731 Trawick Road. Four female victims cut during a fight inside were transported to WakeMed, where they were treated for minor injuries.

On Monday just after midnight, police responded to a shooting at the location. One man was shot and was in critical condition, police said.
