Monday night, a gunshot was reported at the College Inn parking garage following a pool party that got out of hand, according to Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue.
About 300 people, both residents and non-residents, were gathered at the College Inn pool when the apartment’s security asked the crowd to leave because of noise complaints.
“They had been asked to leave and didn’t,” Sughrue said. “That’s when Raleigh Police were called in.”
When police arrived, the crowd dispersed, and the majority of people headed to the parking garage, according to Sughrue. Moments later, a gunshot went off.
There were no victims in the shooting, and police have yet to identify a suspect.
College Inn declined to comment.
Six to eight police officers were called out, including some from University Police. Officers blocked both the exit and entrance of College Inn until about midnight, according to Hampton Billips, a sophomore studying sports management and a College Inn resident.
“It took nearly 30 minutes for all of the cars to be released from the parking lot,” Billips said.
