ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VA (Rocktown Now) — Authorities are searching for a suspect following a shooting this morning in Rockingham County.

Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson reports that deputies responded to a call originating from what law enforcement believes was a domestic dispute between two men in the Elkton area.

“One male subject was shot one time, believed in the abdomen area. So critical injuries, not certain if it’s life threatening or not, but he was subsequently flown to UVA for treatment of that gunshot wound. We have a known suspect from this dispute that we are attempting to locate at this time. We believe the victim drove himself to the BP station in Elkton in efforts to seek medical attention and that’s when the investigation began,” Hutcheson said.

Hutcheson says there is no danger to the public.
