Chris Singletary, 19, of Atkinson Road in Orrum, was struck by a bullet that grazed the back of his head as he was leaving Meadow Woods Apartments around 9:40 p.m., according to Fairmont police.
According to police Lt. David Windom, Singletary was driving a 2002 Chevrolet Impala when he encountered a group of men walking down the street. One of the men used a small-caliber weapon to fire a shot through the passenger’s side window.
Singletary, who was alone in the car, was treated and released from Southeastern Regional Medical Center.
No arrest has been made. Windom said that victim and witnesses have given conflicting stories, complicating the investigation.

My mother was driving down a road just off 5th St. in Lumberton near Food Lion when she saw a male with a hood on ducked down behind a truck looking around the side of the truck. She said he then stood up and had a shot gun in his hand right after a car pulled into a driveway near the man. She steped on the gas and got past the area then called 911. She told my niece about what happened and she said that area was known to have gangs in it. So it looks as though this problem is only getting worse. My Mom said she will never take that short cut again through there.
