ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (WTVD) -- Rocky Mount police are investigating a reported shooting at a Walgreens on Thursday.



Police said they got a call about 5:10 p.m. from a resident who said a person had been shot at the Walgreens at 2624 Sunset Avenue.



Officers and first responders arrived at the drug store but found that the victim -- and the shooting suspect -- had already left on foot.

There was no known threat to the public, police said; the incident appeared to be an isolated one.



A suspect has not been found, and police ask that anyone with any information about this incident call the Rocky Mount Police Department at (252) 972-1411.
