The gunfire broke
out on Saturday at a private party in Rockingham County, just
outside the city of Madison in north-central North Carolina.
No one was in custody and police had yet to identify the
suspects, a spokesman for the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office
said.
The Moose Lodge had rented the space to a private party, and
officers responding to reports of gunfire there found two
victims at the scene while five others had already gone
elsewhere to seek treatment, the sheriff's office said in a
statement.
Some 250 to 300 people were at the party when an argument began,
leading to the gunfire, the statement said.
All of the victims received treatment, and none of their wounds
were considered life-threatening, it said.
The two shooters, both men, had been attending the party and put
on ski masks before shooting, the statement said, citing
witnesses.
They fled the scene in a silver car driven by a woman, but the
make and model of the car were unknown, the statement said.
