A 15-year-old girl was reportedly shot and seriously injured during a home invasion at the Weston Trace apartment complex in Garner Sunday morning, February 26, 2017.
According to WRAL News, the shooting occurred at “the Weston Trace complex at 248 Westcroft Drive.” Police told media, “a small get together was taking place in the apartment when three men in masks stormed the home and opened fire.”
The teenage victim, from Raleigh, was apparently “shot once and was taken to Wake Medical Center with serious injuries,” per WNCN reports. Her current condition has not been released.

Our Legal Take
Generally, property owners are required to protect all guests legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victim and her family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries.
Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
