FIELDALE, VA – Two men were flown to the hospital following a shooting in Fieldale on Monday.

Henry County deputies responded to Roberts Bestway, 1706 Dillons Fork Road, after getting a call at 4:06 p.m. that a man there had an apparent gunshot wound.

Canty told deputies that there had been an altercation with another man at a mobile home located at 2234 John Baker Road.

The two men started to argue and the other man shot Canty in the leg, according to the sheriff's office.
