Two men are in custody after a shooting outside a home on North Horner Boulevard on Tuesday afternoon, according to Sanford police.

Officers responded around 4:45 p.m. to 401 N. Horner Blvd. and found Wilson Brown in his vehicle with a gunshot wound to the leg. He reported having been sitting in his car when he was shot.

According to police, two suspects were seen in another vehicle shortly after the call. The driver, police said, refused to stop and the suspects were pursued into Harnett County, where they finally stopped without incident on McArthur Road near Seminole.
