SALISBURY, N.C. — Three people were hurt in a shooting along South Jake Alexander Boulevard around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Two of the victims were shot in the leg and a third man was shot in the chest, court documents say. The victims are 23, 25, and 22 years old.
On Monday, police said all three victims were taken to various hospitals where they remain in stable condition.
According to court documents, a group of friends and family were throwing a party celebrating the birth of a child. An argument happened and then shots were fired.
All of this happened next to the Econo Lodge where Samantha Miller and her family live. She told Channel 9 crime reporter Glenn Counts that she didn’t hear gunshots but she saw the police respond.
She said she is now worried about going outside after dark.
“I’m scared to be outside,” Samantha said. “It doesn’t sit well because I like to be outside. I like to enjoy being outside. Now I can’t enjoy it.”
Police have not said if they have made any arrests or if they are looking for suspects. They did say the incident appears to be isolated and there is no active threat to the surrounding community.
Investigators said they aren’t releasing any more information at this time due to the nature of the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Hill at 704-638-5333, 704-638-5262, or email investigations@salisburync.gov.
