Multiple guns were fired when a house party turned violent at 4 a.m. and investigators have determined it was the doings of a crew coincidentally known as the “Get Shot Gang,” according to police in North Carolina.
The gunfire erupted just before 4 a.m on Saturday, Nov. 1, at a duplex in Spindale, and continued after police officers arrived, the Spindale Police Department reports.
No injuries were reported, despite the home being riddled with bullet holes, police said in a news release.
“When officers arrived at the scene, numerous individuals were still at the residence, attempting to leave. During this time, several more gunshots were heard, causing officers to take cover,” police said.
“Information collected indicates that a house party turned violent when a physical altercation began. … Someone retrieved a firearm and fired several times while inside of the house. … Within minutes, the aggressors returned to the residence and then fired multiple times into the residence from the roadway with what was described as an ‘ARP’ or AR style pistol. This resulted in the residence being struck at least 14 times, with many bullets traveling into the neighboring unoccupied apartment.”
Twenty-two shell casings from three different calibers of firearms were recovered, police said.
An investigation identified the shooters as “suspected members of a gang that is calling itself GSG or ‘Get Shot Gang’,” police said, and a first arrest was made on Nov. 3.
Lennox Pearson, who was out of jail on probation, was found at his home in Ellenboro, and a search of revealed a .300 Blackout AR Pistol with an added butt stock and a 9mm pistol, police said.
Both weapons are believed to have been used at the party, officials said.
Pearson has been charged with possession of a firearm by felon, discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, six counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and possession of a weapon of mass destruction, police said.
Spindale is about a 70-mile drive west from Charlotte.
