Police asked Thursday for help to identify three people suspected of shooting a man at a carnival in Fayetteville on Wednesday night.

The man worked for the carnival, which was operating in a parking lot at 6900 Cliffdale Road, had been involved in a disagreement with another man on Tuesday, police said, and that carried over to Wednesday.

At least three men came to the carnival and attacked the carnival worker, and one of them shot him, police said. He was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for treatment of a wound that wasn't considered life-threatening.
