A man was shot in an alley in the 100 block of West Fisher Street in the early morning hours on Thursday.

The victim reported that he was walking behind a Fisher Street restaurant around 1 a.m. Thursday when he was approached by two men. He told police that they demanded his money, and when he said he didn’t have money or a wallet on him, they took his necklace, shot him in the neck and left him in the alley.

The man suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, and was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, where he is in stable condition, police spokeswoman Capt. Shelia Lingle said. This incident is still under investigation.
