1 Dead, 1 Wounded Following Shooting

One person was killed and a second person wounded following a shooting at a local motel.

Selma Police said they responded to the Masters Inn on US 70 shortly after 3:00am Tuesday.

Police Captain R.L. Daniels said there was a scuffle between two people staying at the motel. Both victims were shot. A woman was struck in the arm by a bullet. She was treated and released at the hospital. The male victim was taken to Johnston Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Daniels said both individuals were from outside the county. Their names have not been released.

Officers said the incident was domestic related and alcohol may have played a factor.

Captain Daniels said police are working with the Johnston County District Attorney’s Office on the case.
