Raleigh: Records say a bullet struck the station across from Sheetz

WRAL's 6:41 p.m. Eastern revision, citing newly released court records, says a bullet struck the occupied Northwest District station at 8016 Glenwood Ave., across the street from the Sheetz. That story says no one was hurt. The page now adds an occupied-property felony to Darryl Avery Fulton's counts. ABC11, with a 3:56 p.m. Eastern modified time, uses just before 3 a.m. and a shorter charge list, and it does not mention the station. Charges are accusations.

  • Newly released court records, as WRAL reports them, say a bullet struck the Raleigh Police Department's Northwest District station at 8016 Glenwood Ave., directly across the street from the Sheetz, after a man fired at his own car. Court records in that account show the building was occupied at the time.

  • Essence Larita Abraham, 29, took a running vehicle from the Sheetz while Darryl Avery Fulton was inside the store. A warrant quoted by WRAL says she was extremely intoxicated.

The charges are accusations. He has not been convicted in these accounts.

Still unknown

  • An exact shot count. The morning WRAL headline said dozens. That headline is gone. The current pages say several shots and that the car was hit several times. They do not say which round struck the station
  • Whether the station strike was one of the shots described as aimed at the car, or another round. WRAL links the strike to that gunfire. It does not give a trajectory
  • The court file itself. This desk has read WRAL's account of the records, not the records
  • A Raleigh Police Department release read on the city's own site. CBS 17's 11:06 a.m. story says its account comes from a department news release. This desk has not opened that release on a city page. This 10:00 p.m. update does not include a new reading of CBS 17.
  • Whether Abraham and Fulton knew each other. The current stories do not say
  • Whether WRAL's two felonies, the occupied-vehicle count and the occupied-property count, are the counts CBS 17 and ABC11 each compress into one occupied-property line. The wordings stay separate
  • Whether ABC11's "larceny of a motor vehicle" and CBS 17's "larceny of a motor vehicle" are the same count as WRAL's felony larceny count, and why those two pages do not list felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle
  • Why ABC11's clock is just before 3 a.m. on a motor-vehicle-theft report, while WRAL uses around 2:50 a.m. and the 11:06 a.m. CBS 17 reading uses just before 2:50 a.m. on a shots-fired call. The clocks are not merged
  • A conviction. Thursday's 1:30 p.m. court time is a setting WRAL reported, not an outcome. ABC11 and the CBS 17 reading do not print it
  • Any statement from Abraham, Fulton, or a lawyer for either of them. Joyner is a professor WRAL quoted, not a defense lawyer named in these accounts

What this means for you

Public safety
WRAL says no one was hurt, including in its account of the occupied police station. Abraham and Fulton are charged, which is not a conviction. This story is not an official or emergency notice. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Instructions from Raleigh Police Department, as reported by CBS 17, WRAL, and ABC11

This site is not the Raleigh Police Department and not the Wake County courts. Questions about the case go to those offices. This is not an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911.

What happened

In Raleigh, court records described by WRAL say a bullet struck the Police Department's Northwest District station, across the street from a Glenwood Avenue Sheetz, before dawn on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026. That account says the building was occupied. WRAL says no one was hurt.

The first version of this file went up at 8:05 a.m. It said CBS 17 and WRAL did not agree on how many people were arrested, and that neither story had a name or a charge. That is what those pages said at the time. It is not what they say now.

The clock, then and now

The 8:05 a.m. file used about 2:40 a.m. Both outlets used that figure in the versions read then. WRAL's morning headline said dozens of shots were fired. That wording was the station's, and it was not an exact count. The same morning story described one arrest. CBS 17, citing the department, described two.

WRAL had revised that URL by 12:49 p.m. Eastern. The modified time then was article:modified_time 2026-11-11T17:49:13Z. The headline was "Police: Woman steals car from Raleigh Sheetz, owner shoots at his own vehicle; both arrested." Dozens of shots was not in that headline. The story put the incident at around 2:50 a.m.

The same URL changed again. article:modified_time is now 2026-11-11T23:41:22Z, which is 6:41 p.m. Eastern. The headline is now "Bullet hit Raleigh police station after man fired at his stolen car." The visible Updated line on the page read 11:41:22 p.m. when this desk fetched it. That figure matches the Zulu clock, not Eastern. This file uses 6:41 p.m., the same conversion that turned 17:49:13Z into 12:49 p.m. The around-2:50 a.m. line is still in the story.

CBS 17's page, in the reading saved at 2:00 p.m., was modified at 11:06 a.m. Eastern. The station says a Raleigh Police Department news release is the basis. Officers responded just before 2:50 a.m. The Sheetz in that account is just north of Lynn Road, and the first report was a car theft. This update does not rest on a new reading of CBS 17.

ABC11 puts the response at just before 3 a.m. and says the report was a motor vehicle theft. Its page is stamped 8:56 p.m. The meta times are 2026-11-11T19:16:00Z, which is 2:16 p.m. Eastern, and 2026-11-11T20:56:03Z, which is 3:56 p.m. Eastern. The stamp matches the second of those in UTC. This file uses 3:56 p.m. Eastern for that revision.

The 2:40 a.m. figure stays. That was the morning reporting. The later clocks, just before 2:50 a.m., around 2:50 a.m., and just before 3 a.m., are left side by side.

Where a bullet struck

WRAL's 6:41 p.m. story says newly released court records show a bullet struck a police station across from the Sheetz after a man fired at his own car. The round struck the Northwest District station at 8016 Glenwood Ave., directly across the street from the store. Those records, in WRAL's account, show the building was occupied then. WRAL's own sentence is that no one was hurt.

8016 Glenwood Ave. is a public building. No residence is included.

ABC11 gives the store as 8101 Glenwood Avenue. WRAL does not print that number. The 11:06 a.m. CBS 17 reading did not print a street number for the store. Each number stays with the outlet that published it.

ABC11 does not mention a round striking the district building. The 11:06 a.m. CBS 17 account does not mention that either. This desk has not opened the court records on a court site.

The accounts of the theft and the shots

CBS 17 says that while the man was inside the store, a woman got into his parked car, which was already running, and drove off. He then fired into the air and at his own car while she was inside it. The car was hit several times. She was not hurt. Officers found the car and the suspect near the station. The words "near the station" are that page's 11:06 a.m. wording. They are not a finding, in this file, that a round hit 8016 Glenwood Ave. CBS 17 says the man, whom it calls the victim in the theft, and the woman, whom it calls the accused thief, were both arrested.

WRAL's account, still on the 6:41 p.m. page, says that around 2:50 a.m. a woman entered a man's car at that Sheetz and attempted to steal it while he was inside the store. As she began driving away, the owner, Darryl Avery Fulton, 59, fired several shots into the air and then at the car, hitting it several times. Essence Larita Abraham, 29, was not injured. She was found near the scene in the stolen vehicle and arrested.

The new WRAL opening says a woman stole the car. The headline says "his stolen car." The body of the same story still says she attempted to steal it. The warrant quotation says the car was running when she took it. Those verbs are left as the station wrote them.

ABC11, citing the Raleigh Police Department, says Fulton was in the store when an unknown woman got into his vehicle and began driving away. He fired into the air, then at the vehicle, striking it several times. ABC11 says the woman was unhurt. Officers later found Abraham nearby, still in that vehicle. The names and ages match the other two accounts.

What each outlet says they are charged with

A charge is an accusation. None of these accounts describes a conviction.

WRAL, citing arrest warrants, says Abraham is charged with felony larceny of a motor vehicle and felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle. The warrant language on the page says the "defendant was extremely intoxicated" and that the defendant "took the vehicle while it was running at a store." She is held at the Wake County Detention Center under a $25,000 bond, that story says.

The same page now lists four counts for Fulton. The one added since the 12:49 p.m. reading is felony discharge of a weapon into occupied property. The other three were already on that earlier reading: an occupied-vehicle felony, a city-limits misdemeanor, and misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon. He is at the Wake County Detention Center, and bond was denied. WRAL says a judge, in the release order, noted that he did not have a relevant criminal history or a history of failing to appear, and that he "was also the victim of his vehicle being stolen."

WRAL says both are due in court Thursday at 1:30 p.m. That Thursday is Nov. 12.

CBS 17's list, attributed there to the police release, is shorter. Abraham, 29, is listed under larceny of a motor vehicle. Fulton, 59, is listed under assault with a deadly weapon, an occupied-property count, and discharge of a firearm within the city limits. That page does not add a second felony for Abraham. It does not give a bond, the intoxication sentence, or a court time.

ABC11's list is three counts, with different verbs. It uses an assault count, discharging a weapon into occupied property, and discharging a firearm within city limits for Fulton. Abraham's count on that page is motor-vehicle larceny. That page does not add the occupied-vehicle felony, a possession count, a bond, or a court time. ABC11 says the investigation remains ongoing. It points readers to the department and to Crime Stoppers. The phone number on that page is not repeated here.

The three lists are not merged. This file does not treat the occupied-property wording and the occupied-vehicle wording as proven to be one statute title. WRAL now prints both.

A professor, quoted by WRAL

WRAL quotes Irving Joyner, a law professor at North Carolina Central University. "Unfortunately, for Mr. Fulton, the law is not on his side in this particular situation," he said, according to that story. WRAL also says he cast the shots at the occupied car as the step that made Fulton a suspect as well as the person whose car was taken, and that he hopes a prosecutor shows mercy. That is commentary on WRAL's page. It is not a ruling, and he is not named as counsel for either person.

Not established

No precise round count is on the current pages. The morning "dozens" line is not restated as a fact. The pages do not say which round reached the district building, or whether Abraham and Fulton knew each other. This desk has not read a release on the city's own site, and it has not read the court file. No defense lawyer is named. Thursday's setting is not a result.

Why it matters

Readers of the morning file were told the outlets disagreed on arrests and that no names or charges were out. Afternoon revisions named Essence Larita Abraham and Darryl Avery Fulton and said both were arrested after a shots-fired call at a Glenwood Avenue Sheetz. WRAL's 6:41 p.m. revision now says court records show a bullet struck the occupied Northwest District station across the street, and it adds an occupied-property felony to Fulton's counts. ABC11 uses just before 3 a.m., gives the store as 8101 Glenwood Avenue, and does not mention the station. The charges are accusations, and the charge lists do not match word for word.

The page's visible Updated line read 11:41:22 p.m. on this fetch. That clock matches the Zulu time. This file keeps the Eastern conversion used for the 12:49 p.m. revision. The headline is now "Bullet hit Raleigh police station after man fired at his stolen car." Newly released court records, as WRAL reports them, say a bullet struck the Raleigh Police Department Northwest District station at 8016 Glenwood Ave., directly across the street from the Sheetz, and that the building was occupied. WRAL says no one was hurt. Fulton's counts on that page are now four. The three from the 12:49 p.m. reading remain, and the page adds felony discharge of a weapon into occupied property. A charge is not a conviction. ABC11 is added. Its page stamp reads 8:56 p.m. article:published_time is 2026-11-11T19:16:00Z (2:16 p.m. Eastern) and article:modified_time is 2026-11-11T20:56:03Z (3:56 p.m. Eastern). The 8:56 p.m. stamp matches the modified time in UTC. ABC11 says officers went to the Sheetz at 8101 Glenwood Avenue just before 3 a.m. on a motor-vehicle-theft report, names the same two people at the same ages, lists three counts for Fulton and larceny of a motor vehicle for Abraham, and does not mention a bullet at the station. Those differences are not merged. WRAL quotes North Carolina Central University law professor Irving Joyner. One sentence is included and attributed. CBS 17 was not reread for this update. lead stays false, so the Nov. 10 Spring Lake pin stays the homepage lead. The original publication time, 8:05 a.m., is unchanged. Text-only.

The story now says that around 2:50 a.m. Essence Larita Abraham, 29, was arrested, and that the owner, Darryl Avery Fulton, 59, was also arrested after firing into the air and then at the car. CBS 17's page, modified at 11:06 a.m. Eastern, cites a Raleigh police release, names the same two people, and says officers responded just before 2:50 a.m. The morning disagreement on how many people were arrested is not what either page says now. The about 2:40 a.m. figure from the 8:05 a.m. file is kept as the earlier report, not swapped out in silence. Charge wording still differs and is not merged. A charge is not a conviction. WRAL's current page says a release order noted that Fulton did not have a history of failing to appear. The original publication time, 8:05 a.m., is unchanged. lead stays false. Text-only.

  2. Bullet hit Raleigh police station after man fired at his stolen car (WRAL staff, article:published_time 2026-11-11T09:07:54Z / 4:07 a.m. Eastern, article:modified_time 2026-11-11T23:41:22Z / 6:41 p.m. Eastern; the visible Updated line read 11:41:22 p.m., matching the Zulu clock: newly released court records say a bullet struck the Raleigh Police Department Northwest District station at 8016 Glenwood Ave., directly across the street from the Sheetz, after a man fired at his own car as a woman stole it; court records show the building was occupied; WRAL says no one was hurt. Around 2:50 a.m. a woman entered a man's car and attempted to steal it while he was inside the store; Darryl Avery Fulton, 59, fired several shots into the air and then at the car, hitting it several times; Essence Larita Abraham, 29, was not injured, was found near the scene in the stolen vehicle, and was arrested. The new opening uses stole. The body still says attempted to steal. Warrants, as quoted: defendant was extremely intoxicated; defendant took the vehicle while it was running at a store. Abraham: felony larceny of a motor vehicle and felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle; Wake County Detention Center; $25,000 bond. Fulton, now four counts: felony discharge of a weapon into an occupied vehicle, felony discharge of a weapon into occupied property, misdemeanor discharge of a firearm within city limits, misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon; Wake County Detention Center; bond denied. The occupied-property felony was not in the 12:49 p.m. reading. Release order: a judge noted no relevant criminal history or history of failing to appear, and he was also the victim of his vehicle being stolen. Irving Joyner, North Carolina Central University law professor, quoted: Unfortunately, for Mr. Fulton, the law is not on his side in this particular situation. The station says he described the shots at the occupied vehicle as what turned Fulton from a theft victim into a suspect, and that he hopes the prosecutor shows mercy. Both in court Thursday at 1:30 p.m. A photo caption still says police were searching the grounds for evidence. The photograph is not used.)
