The Raleigh Police Department has reported several violent incidents involving large groups of minors during the Independence Day holiday weekend.

羅利警察局報告指出，在獨立日假期週末期間，發生了數起涉及大量未成年人的暴力事件。

The Raleigh Police Department (RPD) described these disturbances as 'teen takeovers,' which are gatherings of young people in public spaces organized through social media. On July 4, about 3,000 juveniles gathered in Brier Creek and 5,000 in Glenwood South; furthermore, officials estimated that 50% of these participants came from outside the city. These gatherings caused physical fights and the use of firearms. In Brier Creek, two people were injured, while six others were wounded in Glenwood South. Additionally, two more people were shot after a confrontation at a gas station on Capital Boulevard. In total, nine people were hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening.

羅利警察局 (RPD) 將這些騷亂描述為「青少年接管」 (teen takeovers)，意指年輕人透過社交媒體組織在公共空間聚集。7 月 4 日，約有 3,000 名青少年在 Brier Creek 聚集，5,000 名在 Glenwood South 聚集；此外，官員估計這些參與者中有 50% 來自市外。這些聚集導致了肢體衝突及使用槍械。在 Brier Creek 有兩人受傷，而在 Glenwood South 則有六人受傷。此外，在 Capital Boulevard 的一家加油站發生對峙後，另有兩人中彈。總共九人住院，傷勢均無生命危險。

To manage the situation, nearly 300 RPD officers responded, supported by several other local police departments and the State Highway Patrol. Although one juvenile was arrested for possessing a firearm, the RPD emphasized that this person was not identified as a shooter. Consequently, the actual perpetrators remain unknown, and investigations are still ongoing. These violent events are particularly concerning because they happened despite an 11% decrease in nonfatal shootings during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the previous year.

為了管控局面，近 300 名 RPD 警員到場處理，並得到其他數個地方警察局及州公路巡邏隊的支援。儘管一名青少年因持有槍械被逮捕，但 RPD 強調，該名人士並未被確認為槍手。因此，真正的犯罪者仍然未知，調查仍在進行中。這些暴力事件尤其令人擔憂，因為 2026 年第一季度的非致命槍擊事件較前一年下降了 11%，但此類事件依然發生。

In response to these events, Mayor Janet Cowell asserted that this trend is a national issue. She is currently considering the introduction of a city-wide curfew for anyone aged 17 and under. This potential rule is being prepared for discussion by the City Council to prevent future youth violence and to address the underlying causes of such instability.

針對這些事件，市長 Janet Cowell 聲明此趨勢是一個全國性問題。她目前正考慮針對 17 歲及以下人士引入全市範圍的宵禁。這項潛在規定正準備提交市議會討論，以防止未來的青少年暴力並解決導致此類不穩定現象的根本原因。

Raleigh authorities are continuing their investigation into the shootings while the city government considers implementing a youth curfew.

羅利當局將繼續調查槍擊事件，而市政府則考慮實施青少年宵禁。

The Raleigh Police Department reported a series of violent incidents involving large gatherings of minors during the Independence Day holiday weekend.

羅利警局報告指出，在獨立日假期週末，發生了一系列涉及大量未成年人聚集的暴力事件。

The disturbances were characterized by the Raleigh Police Department (RPD) as 'teen takeovers,' a phenomenon involving social media-coordinated congregations of youth in public spaces. On July 4, approximately 3,000 juveniles assembled in Brier Creek and 5,000 in Glenwood South, with an estimated 50% of participants originating from outside the municipal limits. These gatherings precipitated physical altercations and the discharge of firearms. In Brier Creek, two individuals sustained injuries, including one gunshot wound and one injury resulting from fragmented glass. Subsequently, six individuals were wounded in the Glenwood South district, and two additional persons were shot following a confrontation at a Capital Boulevard fueling station. In total, nine individuals were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

羅利警局 (RPD) 將這些騷亂定義為「青少年接管」，這是一種透過社交媒體協調、在公共空間聚集年輕人的現象。7月4日，約有 3,000 名青少年在 Brier Creek 聚集，5,000 名在 Glenwood South 聚集，估計 50% 的參與者來自市界之外。這些聚集導致了肢體衝突與開槍事件。在 Brier Creek，有兩人受傷，包括一名槍傷和一名因玻璃碎片導致的傷勢。隨後，在 Glenwood South 區有六人受傷，且在 Capital Boulevard 加油站發生對峙後，又有另外兩人被槍擊。總共九人因非致命傷而被送院治療。

Law enforcement response involved nearly 300 RPD officers, supplemented by the Knightdale, Zebulon, and Cary police departments, the Wake County Sheriff's Office, and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. While one juvenile was detained for firearm possession, RPD officials stated this individual was not identified as a shooter. The perpetrators remain unidentified, and investigations are ongoing. These events occurred despite a reported 11% decrease in nonfatal shootings during the first quarter of 2026 relative to the previous year.

In response to these events, Mayor Janet Cowell has characterized the trend as a national issue and is currently evaluating the implementation of a municipal curfew for individuals aged 17 and under. This potential regulatory measure is under consideration for discussion by the City Council to mitigate future occurrences of youth-led violence and to address the root causes of such instability.

針對這些事件，市長 Janet Cowell 將此趨勢定性為全國性問題，目前正在評估對 17 歲及以下人士實施市級宵禁的可行性。這項潛在的監管措施正考慮提交市議會討論，以減少未來再次發生青少年主導的暴力事件，並解決此類不穩定現象的根源。
