FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- A chaotic scene unfolded in Fayetteville on Tuesday night after multiple people were shot -- one fatally -- and police were called to three different locations.
Calling it a "disaster," Police Chief Kem Braden originally told ABC11 that four people in total were shot. FPD later clarified that "multiple" were shot.
All the victims were shot about 8:45 p.m. in the 200 block of Lieber Street. One victim made his way to Powers Swain Chevrolet at 4709 Bragg Blvd., and another victim wound up in the 1600 block of Tryon Drive.
Despite what the police chief said earlier, an FPD spokesman later told ABC11 that he could not confirm the total number of victims shot. With a fluid situation, details can change "quickly."
The victims were taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where one was pronounced dead.
Braden said the shootings happened between two groups of people.
At first, police thought the shootings happened at three locations.
The conditions of the gunshot victims were not immediately known.
Police are actively investigating.
