A captain on scene tells ABC11 that the two men living in an encampment nearby got into an argument. The two continued arguing with that argument continuing onto Summit Ave. At some point, investigators believe one man began attacking the other with an ax.
Investigators say that's when a neighbor heard the fight, went outside, and shot the man wielding the ax.
The man who was shot collapsed nearby and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The man who police say was beaten with the ax suffered multiple injuries to the face and was also taken to a nearby hospital.
Raleigh police say the two men know each other.
Police say the person who fired the shot has been cooperative and had a valid license to own a gun.
