CLINTON, N.C. (WNCN) — Detectives with the Clinton Police Department are investigating a drive-by shooting Saturday night after they say six people were shot.

At about 9:30 p.m., officers were called to the scene in reference to shots fired at the 500 block of Stetson St.

Upon arrival, they report six people were suffering from gunshot wounds and were taken to the hospital.

The victims are listed as:

Reports say all victims are stable condition.

Investigators say the suspects arrived at the address in a black Chrysler 200 and drove past a home where residents were gathered outside.

They say the car circled the block and drove by again, this time shooting toward the home and hitting the six victims.

The suspects then fled the scene.

It is not known where they went.

Investigators say evidence gathered so far shows the shooting was targeted and not a random act of violence.
