Senior reflects on shooting incident

(08/24/09 7:00am)

As he walked home near East Campus with his girlfriend on Aug. 8, a Duke senior was robbed at gunpoint and then shot in the abdomen when he tried to resist the attacker. The late-night shooting on Watts Street left the computer science major hospitalized for more than a week in Duke Hospital. The student underwent surgery to repair damage to his intestines and bladder. His girlfriend, an art student in Durham, was uninjured. The Durham Police Department is currently conducting an investigation into the incident. Six robberies have been reported near the intersection Watts Street and Trinity Avenue so far this year. The Chronicle's Zachary Tracer spoke to the senior about the attack on condition of anonymity to protect his privacy.
