WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Winston-Salem Police are investigating after one person was killed and three others injured in a shooting Friday night. 

Police said it happened just before 10 p.m. Friday night. Winston-Salem Police officers were on patrol near the 800 block of E. Devonshire Street when they heard shots fired, according to police. 

When officers got to the scene, they said they found four people shot near the intersection of E. Devonshire Street and Burgandy Street.
