10 days, 9 shootings Local leaders point to poverty, pandemic and drugs

Many factors are playing a role in the recent rash of shootings that resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to 19 people in Winston-Salem, several members of the Winston-Salem City Council said Tuesday. In addition, a man died from injuries received May 5 after police returned gunfire at a home during a standoff in Ardmore. “It’s a myriad of things,” Council Member Denise “D.D.” Adams said. “It goes further back than COVID.” Problems such as poverty, hunger, unemployment, drug abuse, poor education, crime, mental illness, and health-care disparities plagued neighborhoods before the pandemic, Adams said. The pandemic magnified those problems, and has played a role in increasing numbers of shootings nationwide and in Winston-Salem, Adams said.
