13-year-old girl in Wilmington allegedly attacked by three teenagers with airsoft guns

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A 13-year-old was allegedly attacked by three older teenagers over the weekend.

According to the mother’s post on Facebook and the community app Nextdoor, it happened Sunday afternoon in the Fox Run Farm neighborhood north of Monkey Junction at the intersection of Weybridge and Devonshire Lanes.

The mother claims that three teenagers allegedly attacked her 13-year-old daughter with airsoft guns while wearing ski masks.

We have contacted the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office.

A spokesman confirmed that it happened around 4:55 p.m. and that three youths had a weapon with them.

Fia Binford said she has lived in the neighborhood for three years and was shocked to hear about the alleged attack.

“It’s super safe, we have a lot of great families, people of all ages and backgrounds, so it’s really, I would say, atypical to hear about anything bad happening in our neighborhood. It’s pretty great, so,” she said.

A New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office spokesman said the case remains under investigation.

We have contacted the mother who shared the post but have not yet received a response.
