DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — A 73-year-old woman was arrested and charged after police say a man was shot with a .38 Special revolver at a Burger King in Durham early Sunday afternoon.

The shooting was reported just after noon in the 1600 block of NC 55, according to a Durham Police Department news release.

“Once on scene, officers located an adult male who had been shot,” the news release said.

EMS took the victim to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, officers said.

At least three Durham police officers were at the Burger King at 1601 NC 55 near S. Alston Avenue, according to photos from the scene. Crime scene tape was also around the door of the restaurant.

“Based on preliminary investigation, the gunshot wound is the result of a disturbance,” police said.

Patricia Anne Rogers, of Raleigh, was arrested and charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, an arrest warrant said. She was also charged with misdemeanor discharge firearm within the city limits, records indicate.

The arrest warrant said Rogers used a Smith and Wesson model 642 revolver in the shooting at the Burger King. The model 642 is also known as a .38 Special +P Revolver.

Rogers was later released from the Durham County Jail on a $5,000 secured bond.
