One shooting victim collapsed right in front of a police car and now Ahoskie police are looking for who shot two men.

Police say two men were shot outside a dance at the American Legion building on McGlohon Street around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The shooting happened as several police officers were at the site providing security for the event.

Chief Troy Fitzhugh tells WITN News that one officer was inside the building, while two others were outside handling a fight. He said one officer was in his cruiser with a fight suspect when he heard 5 or 6 shots. One victim then collapsed in front of the police car, having been shot in the chest. The other victim hobbled up to the car after being shot in the leg.

EastCare was called in to transport at least one of the victims to Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Fitzhugh says a lot of people from the surrounding counties were in Ahoskie Tuesday night, for the Hertford County Holiday Classic Basketball Tournament of area high school teams, but that the dance was not connected to the tournament.

Detectives are interviewing people, and Chief Fitzhugh says they are "actively looking for a shooter." Fitzhugh said he did not have the names or ages of the victims at the time of our interview, but noted they were not high school students.

Police say they have no suspects, but are looking for a beige, older model Grand Marquis that was seen leaving right after the shooting.

Ahoskie Police are asking anyone who may be able to help with their investigation to call either the Police Department at (252) 332-5011, or call crime stopper, at (252) 332-4066.
