Mar. 29—The Limestone County Sheriff's Office is investigating an early morning shooting near Elkmont, according to officials.

Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely said his office got the call around 3 a.m. Monday that someone had been shot in a camper trailer in the 22000 block of New Garden Road. He said investigators were already speaking with a person of interest and viewing the incident as a homicide, though additional details could not be shared at this time.

"We still have a lot of work to do," the sheriff said. "We're probably going to be here for quite some time."

The victim has been identified as a 50-year-old male. The News Courier will have more information as it becomes available.
