It was a chaotic Friday night in Salisbury, where police say two separate shootings left two people seriously injured in unrelated incidents across town. Officers first responded to a family-related shooting at a home on Audrey Lane in the early evening, then later to an exchange of gunfire between vehicles at the intersection of Faith Road and Innes Street. Both victims were taken to area hospitals and were reported in stable condition as investigators work to untangle what happened.
Family Fight Turns Violent on Audrey Lane
According to Salisbury police, officers were called to a residence on Audrey Lane around 5:30 p.m. Friday for a reported family dispute that ended in gunfire. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from serious injuries. He was transported to a hospital and later listed in stable condition, as reported by WBTV. Detectives have not released the victim's name and say the case remains under active investigation.
Gunfire Between Cars at Faith and Innes
Roughly three hours later, around 8:30 p.m., Salisbury police say gunfire erupted between two vehicles at the intersection of Faith Road and Innes Street. One person later arrived at a hospital with serious injuries linked to the shooting. Local coverage noted the incident appeared to involve shots fired between moving cars, but police have not discussed a motive or publicly identified any suspects. WCNC first reported both shootings Friday night.
Police Ask for Tips
The Salisbury Police Department is urging anyone who might have information, including home or business video, to come forward. Tipsters are asked to contact Lt. Casper at 704-638-5333 or reach out to Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers, according to WBTV. No arrests have been announced, and investigators say they currently believe the two shootings are unrelated. Detectives are following leads and reviewing any available camera footage.
Violence Adds to Local Concerns
The back-to-back shootings come as Salisbury continues to grapple with concerns about gun violence. The city has seen multiple violent incidents in recent years, including a February 2025 homicide that later resulted in charges, as documented by the Salisbury Post. Officials have repeatedly called on residents to assist with investigations, and anyone with information about Friday's shootings is again urged to contact police.
