0:00Winston-Salem Police Chief William H. Penn Jr. dropped a strong statement Tuesday about a deadly fight at Linebot Park on Sally Kirk Road, two groups of young people clashed. It turned into a shooting, killing a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old while injuring five others between. 14 and 19 years old, no other suspects are being sought right now. The chief made it clear, adults who just stood by, watching without stepping in face charges. He called them out for encouraging or aiding the kids' bad behavior, even if they're young adults themselves. This is the department sending a clear message to the community. Chief Penn's stress parents and grown folks need to step up and keep tabs on unsupervised teens hitting the streets. He said during a press conference that sharing info like this is a call to action for families to know where their kids are at all times. He didn't spell out the exact charges for those bystanders yet, and while arrests have been made before, Penn believes locking everyone up isn't the full fix.
