Two men were injured in separate shootings within six hours Monday along Edgewood Avenue, according to police.
The first call came in around 1:45 a.m. when a man was shot in the leg as he was leaving the Hendrixx Ultra Lounge at 330 Edgewood Avenue, according to a news release. The man had already gone to a hospital by the time police arrived and was described as being alert.
Investigators believe he was leaving the location when he was approached by a man who demanded his property. The victim refused, and as he attempted to run away, he was shot, the news release states.
Just a few hours later, by 8 a.m., an officer heard shots being fired in the area of 378 Edgewood Avenue, where the Foxx Original Jamaican Restaurant is located.
When the officer got there, she found a man with apparent gunshot wounds. She began rendering aid and ultimately took the victim to a hospital. He also was described as being alert.
No other details were provided about the victims or suspects.
Investigators are working to determine the circumstances of both shootings.
