WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A 20-year-old Winston-Salem man is in critical condition after a shooting in Winston-Salem, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.

Officers were called about a shooting on the 1100 block of Leona Street at 11:27 a.m.

Police say that the victim was shot twice and has a gunshot wound to the upper torso. He was taken to the hospital and is considered to be in critical condition.

Officers found multiple spent handgun shell casings in and around a silver vehicle that the victim was inside.
