The first shooting happened at Inwood and Winterberry, Reynolds said, near 34th North and Rock Road.

A 20-year-old man who had attended a party in the area was walking back to his vehicle when he was shot in the leg by an unknown person.

The man was able to walk to a friend’s vehicle and he was then taken to Wesley Medical Center. There are no suspects at this time, Reynolds said.

A second shooting occurred at 5:15 a..m. Sunday in the 1300 block of North Indiana, about 7 miles west of the first shooting.

Five people were in a residence, one of them 10 years old, when one of the residents, a 42-year-old man, was shot in the face through a door with a shotgun. The man was taken to Via Christi Hospital – St. Francis where he was admitted.

Neither of the injuries are life threatening, Reynolds said.

The shootings don’t appear to be related.
