Niggers nigging in Knightdale, NC at a carnival to help fundraiser for special olympics participants. KNIGHTDALE, N.C. - A family carnival in Knightdale was cut short on Saturday after shots rang out. "We're trying to scatter and run and I'm trying to find my husband, trying to find our boys," she said. "I've never been in a situation like that. So we just got down and waited for safety." The carnival in the Midtown Commons Shopping Center was hosted by the police as a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. The Town of Knightdale said Saturday's incident shouldn't detract from the town's history of hosting a safe atmosphere at its Spring Carnival for the past 15 years. "At every event, public safety is paramount. We do our best to mitigate potential threats, but the guarantee of absolute safety often includes and depends on others adhering to a sense of social duty and responsibility. We send kudos to the officers on scene who rushed to the area, ready to confront the armed assailant. We also send gracious thanks to the men and women in blue who ushered people to safety and worked to clear the scene," a spokesperson for the town wrote in a statement.
