DANVILLE — Shortly before 11 a.m. on Saturday, a 51-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint on Piney Forest Road.
Danville police officers res-ponded to a call about shots fired in the 1300 block of Piney Forest Road, and found the victim at the location. The man told officers he had been robbed of his wallet and cell phone.
