Nine people were injured in a Greensboro shooting early Sunday morning. It took place at 1:50 a.m. at Royal Banquet Hall on West Gate City Boulevard.

According to a press release from the Greensboro Police Department, victims include a 15-year-old and three 17-year-olds. As of Monday afternoon, two of those injured were still hospitalized.

Officers who arrived on the scene arrested two males in the vicinity. While law enforcement officials say they’re still working to identify who was responsible for the shooting, they’ve charged 21-year-old Carlos Withers with "injury to personal property" and "discharging a firearm in city limits." Withers was also charged with “going armed to the terror of the people,” as was 24-year-old Edward Trey Lindsay III.

Officials say police had been dispatched to the same location earlier Saturday night.

In a statement, City Manager Trey Davis said the shooting has, “shaken our community and our thoughts are with those who were injured.”

The investigation is ongoing.
