They found three people shot inside an apartment.

Police say there was a small get-together of family and friends with a total of nine people there at the time.

A fight got physical and led to the first man getting a handgun and shooting two people; one died and the other was seriously injured.

That's when investigators believe another family member also pulled a gun and fired back.

"The person who actually did the shooting is in our custody right now. We're in the process of talking with him. The resident who initiated the first shots, was shot and killed on scene,” Chief Keith Meadows said.

Homicide investigators are talking to everyone involved, but they say it appears the second man who shot  the first shooter may have acted in self-defense.

He was taken into police custody.
