There are reports of multiple victims.

But, at this time, we don’t know exactly how many were injured or what their condition is.

Fox News has more details:

Shots rang out just after 9:50 a.m. amid a planned fight between two juveniles in Leinbach Park, near Jefferson Middle School in Winston-Salem.

“When the individuals met at the park, the situation escalated significantly, leading to multiple people exchanging gunfire,” the Winston-Salem Police Department wrote on X.

Two people died and an unspecified number of people were shot, police said. Several people, both victims and suspects were located, authorities said.

“Due to the number of people involved, efforts are ongoing to account for everyone. At this time, some of those involved in the incident are juveniles,” police said.

The North Carolina Bureau of Investigation stressed that the shooting did not happen at the school, but in the nearby park.
