Wilmington police are investigating a shooting that happened on Holly Tree Road.

According to a news release from the Wilmington Police Department, the shooting happened at 4950 Holly Tree Road, the address of the Holly Tree Racquet Club.

Details of the shooting are limited as of Tuesday evening but it appears to be an isolated incident, according to the release, which added the public is not in danger, no children were physically injured during this shooting and an update will be provided as more becomes available.

A neighbor in the area, who wished to remain anonymous, said he was asleep when the shooting happened and woke up to a notification on his phone alerting him to the incident.
