CLAYTON, N.C. (WTVD) -- Clayton police are investigating after a person was found injured from a shooting.

According to Clayton officials, officers responded to the 10000 block of Highway 70 East after a person with a gunshot wound drove into the parking lot of Wendy's. Officials said the person's injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening.

Isaiah Curry works at the Wendy's restaurant on Highway 70 and said he saw the man walk inside with blood dripping from head to toe.

"I noticed that he had blood all over his face and all over his jacket," Curry said. "And then I heard him saying 'oh I got shot in the face. I got shot in the face.'"

As workers tried to figure out what was going on, the manager handed the man a towel.



"My main worry was.. what if somebody tries to come after him and they come in the store," said Curry

Police said they believe the man was shot somewhere else and pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and are working to determine where the shooting happened.
