On Friday, May 9, Vance County deputies responded to the Variety Wholesalers warehouse, located at 1000 Facet Rd. in Henderson, after receiving a report of shots fired in the parking lot.
While deputies were at the scene for further investigation, it was determined that two subjects had walked into Maria Parham Health with gunshot wounds from the incident. Both subjects were transported to Duke Hospital for further treatment for their injuries.
Brame told WIZS Friday afternoon, “I understand it started somewhere else and ended up there,” on the parking lot.
