STATESVILLE, N.C. — Two teenagers suffered injuries after being shot early Saturday morning in Statesville.
According to the Statesville Police Department, on Saturday, July 1 around 2:40 a.m., Statesville PD received information about a shooting around 910 Hill Terrace.
Statesville police were headed to the scene, when they were informed that two gunshot victims had been transported to the emergency room at Iredell Memorial. The victims were transported by an unknown third person.
One gunshot victim, 18-year-old Deleon Dalton of Statesville, was shot in the back. The second gunshot victim was a 17-year-old teen who was shot in the hand.
Both victims were transported to Baptist Hospital. The Statesville Police Department is investigating the incident and asks anyone with information to contact Statesville Police Department at 704-878-3406.
It's one of multiple shooting calls in Iredell County in the span of a few days.
Monday, Statesville Police responded to a call on North Tradd Street just after 4 p.m. and found a man who had been shot in the leg, lying in the driveway. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. Police said the shooting appears to be isolated and unrelated to the shooting on Hill Terrace.
A WCNC Charlotte viewer also sent a photo from western Iredell County near Sutton Farm Lane, where the Iredell County Sheriff's Office confirmed they are investigating a shooting. Officials haven't released any further information about that case at this time.
