(Henry County) – A Fieldale teenager was hit twice by gunfire in a drive-by shooting Monday afternoon.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to 719 Daniels Creek Road in Fieldale about 12:30 after receiving reports of a shooting. They arrived to find a 19-year-old with gunshot wounds to his torso and arm.

Alton Laron Baker told deputies he was standing outside the home when two black males in a black vehicle with dark windows pulled up and fired a gun, striking him twice. Baker was airlifted to Carilion Hospital in Roanoke.

During a subsequent investigation, deputies found drugs in the house where Baker was staying.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Henry County Sheriff’s Department.
