William Still, 54, remains at Rowan Regional Medical Center in critical condition after being shot in the chest.

Shortly after midnight Sunday, two men wearing ski masks kicked the door of Still’s room open and shot him with an undetermined caliber gun, Salisbury Police Capt. Mark Wilhelm said.

Still lives in a boarding house at 312 E. 11th St.

At that same address, on Friday, Still was accused of cutting Jerry Rhodes, 62, of 920 S. Fulton St., on the face during a fight.

Rhodes’ left ear was partially cut off and he suffered a wound across his throat. Police indicated alcohol was involved in the dispute.

Rhodes told police he did not want to press charges after the Friday night assault, but police have talked to the District Attorney’s Office about pursing charges against Still.

Right now, police are investigating the Sunday attack on Still and hope to make an arrest.
