iStock/Thinkstock(NASHVILLE, N.C.) — A shooting outside a North Carolina courthouse on Tuesday left two people seriously wounded.
According to the Nashville Police Department, the incident took place at the Nash County Courthouse just after 11 a.m. A manhunt is underway for two suspects.
“We’ve been able to identify the possible suspects and this is an active ongoing investigation,” Nash County Sheriff Dick Jenkins said.
“We believe that it was not a random act,” Jenkins added, without providing any further details.
The two victims — both adult males — sustained multiple gunshot wounds. One was shot in the shoulder and the other has a wound in his right hand and two wounds in his left leg.
“They are in stable condition. They have serious wounds, but they’re apparently non-life threatening,” said Nash Health Care Public Relations Director Jeff Hedgepeth.
Both victims were airlifted to Greenville, North Carolina for further treatment.
