WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A juvenile is recovering after a shooting in Winston-Salem late Saturday night. 

Police responded to the area of 2401 Dunbar Street after receiving multiple calls reporting 30-35 gunshots around 11:18 p.m. Saturday.

When officers arrived on scene, they found a juvenile who had been shot in the hand.
