The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting on Wednesday near Mt. Sinai Road that left one victim with “multiple gunshot wounds.”

A release from the office Wednesday afternoon said deputies were in the area of Murphy School Road in Orange County to respond to a 911 call about “a verbal disturbance and the sound of gunfire.” They later found a man lying on the road and yelling for help after sustaining several injuries from gunshots.

As of Wednesday, investigators with the sheriff’s office believe an assailant drove the victim to Murphy School Road before shooting him. The person then fled the scene, driving south. No description of the shooter was made available in the release.

The sheriff’s office said the victim is now in stable condition after undergoing surgery. Investigators do not believe the shooting was a random act, nor do they believe the broader Orange County community’s safety is at risk.

Investigators said anyone who was in the area of Murphy School Road and Mt. Sinai Road between 1:15 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday is asked to call Kyle Borland at 919-245-2915.
