The sheriff said the victim did not need medical attention and provided authorities with a description of the suspect and his vehicle.

Deputies said the suspect was arrested shortly later at a gas station by a Yadkinville police officer.

MOUNT AIRY, N.C. — Deputies say two men were injured early Wednesday in a shooting in Mount Airy.

The shooting occurred just after midnight on Eleanor Avenue in the Flat Rock community.

Surry County Sheriff Graham Atkinson says Donald Bradford Carter, 43, of Ararat, Va., and Harold Ray Vernon, 48, of Dobson, were both shot in their legs.

According to Sheriff Atkinson, the victims told deputies they were driving to visit a friend in a pickup truck when the suspect, an acquaintance of the victims, flagged them down on Eleanor Avenue.

Atkinson says the victims told deputies the suspect “re-ignited an argument stemming from an incident years ago.”

The suspect then pulled out a gun and began shooting into the truck, Atkinson said.

Atkinson says the victims drove away from the scene and were on their way to Northern Hospital when they wrecked on Worth Street.
