MOREHEAD CITY � The search for two suspects wanted in connection with a Friday shooting in Morehead City has continued with few leads for police.
�We haven�t had any additional information,� said Morehead City Police Department Maj. Bernette Morris.
Complicating the search is the fact that the two are from out of state, not known in the local community and a false report that arrests had been made.
As of late Monday, the search remained an active one.
Police are searching for Scottie Eugene Jackson, 33, and Brandy Michelle Mullins.
Shots were fired into an occupied residence about 4:18 a.m. Friday at 4856 Arendell Street.
The shooting stemmed from an argument that began in Atlantic Beach and continued at the dwelling at Wills Mobile Home Park.
No one was injured but there were people inside, including a child.
Mullins fired a shot but not into the dwelling, according to police. She then handed the gun to Jackson, who fired into the home, Morris said.
The two reportedly left the scene of the shooting in a silver 2000 Chrysler LHS four-door car with registrationF0394E-TN headingwest on U.S. 70.
Police are asking for the public�s help locating the two but warn that they should not be approached as they are considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to call Lt. Kelly Guthrie at 252-726-3131.
