A man from Durham just got hit with attempted first-degree murder charges after his shooting on Wake Forest Highway in Durham County. Deonte Allston faces that heavy-count plus possession of a firearm by a felon, assault with a deadly weapon around a minor and a probation violation. This all stems from a domestic dispute that turned violent. Back on February 24th, a couple pulled up to the Durham County Sheriff's Office seeking help, both shot up and rushed to the hospital. A child was right there in the car during the chaos, but luckily walked away unhurt. That kid got handed over to social services for safety, and cops found a gun stashed in the vehicle. Allston himself ended up at the hospital from the incident, but got released soon after. Investigators pieced it together quick as a domestic blowup, gone wrong, with the child witnessing the whole mess. No other injuries reported beyond the two adults. Things locked up without bond now, after his court appearance Tuesday. Case moving forward as authorities dig deeper into the full story.
