Then, at about 12:40 a.m. Monday, shots were reported in the area of Moore and Lehigh. When police arrived, no one was around, but an area hospital called to report that a man and a woman had arrived to their ER with gunshot wounds. The man died at the hospital. The woman suffered a gunshot wound to her arm.
Police said just before officers arrived at the hospital, another person arrived at the same hospital and stated that he had been shot at Beech & Northland.
