CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. — A fatal shooting at the Mountainview Carwash and Laundry in Catawba County is under investigation.
Police said two shots were fired at the car wash shortly before 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
One person, who left the scene in a pickup truck, was eventually found about two miles away with a gunshot wound.
A second person, 23-year-old Dalton James Flynn, was found with life-threatening injuries. He was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.
Witnesses told Channel 9′s Dave Faherty that they attempted to help the man who was shot.
“It is kind of scary. I frequently shop in this area. I live in this area, so it is kind of scary to see this happening here,” witness Donna Hatcher said.
“I just grabbed my phone when I realized that’s what I heard and dialed 911 and ran to the bathroom and hid,” witness Christan Cook said.
It is unclear what led up to this shooting, however, no charges have been filed.
