An argument between two roommates led to one of the men allegedly shooting the other man in the Woodgreen Apartments community.

According to Aberdeen Police Chief Brian Chavis, the two men were arguing inside an apartment at 500 Bradford Drive, it lead to a physical altercation, and ended with one man with multiple wounds to the head from a pellet gun.

AirCare was initially put on standby, but was cancelled once Moore County paramedics were able to evaluate the condition of the victim. He’s injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
