The Greene County Sheriff’s Office along with the NC State Bureau of Investigation are currently investigating two separate shooting incidents that occurred near the Greene/Lenoir County Line.

Sheriff Matt Sasser advises that on 07/24/2022 around 1:14 am, Greene County Deputies responded to the area of 5976 Hwy 258 South, also known as Jones Village near the Greene/Lenoir County line, in reference to multiple shots fired calls. Upon arriving Deputies viewed a large crowd at that location and found a 19 female who had been shot. The female was transported from the scene by EMS. While Deputies were still on scene investigating the shooting, several additional shots were fired from the wood line across the road towards the crowd. While investigating the additional shots fired, from the wooded area, Deputies became involved in a separate shooting incident in that area, were a 22 year old male was found shot and also transported by EMS. The NCSBI was contacted to investigate the Deputy involvement. Due to the investigation still on going, the names of those involved are not being released at this time. Both subjects transported are stable and being treated for injuries. No Deputies were injured during the incident.
