Yet Another Drive-By at La Roka Nightclub
They get a rough crowd there. What’s this, the second time in the last few months somebody has been shot there?
From WYFF:
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Deputies are investigating a drive-by shooting near a Greenville night club.
It happened early Monday morning near Club La Roka on S. Pleasantburg Drive.
Authorities tell WYFF News 4 two groups got in an argument at the club. Later, one of the groups was getting into a car in a nearby parking lot when a vehicle drove by and someone began shooting.
One man was hit in the calf and a bystander received a leg injury. Both victims were taken to the hospital where we are told they’re recovering.
Who the hell is in a club early Monday morning anyway? If you don’t have to be at work on Monday how do you have money to go club hopping? I guess the drive-by answers that question doesn’t it?
