LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Little Rock police are investigating two shootings that took place within an hour on Tuesday.

Around 5:20 p.m., officers responded to the St. Vincent emergency room after a 27-year-old was shot. Officers established a crime scene at the 6800 block of Colonel Glenn Road where they found evidence of a shooting, according to a police report.

About a half-hour later, a 46-year-old man was shot in the leg at an intersection in Little Rock's Central High Historic District.

The man’s mother ran inside her home on W 12th Street to tell his brother and sister he had been shot outside, according to a police report. The man’s siblings took him to a local hospital.

The 46-year-old was reportedly shot in the leg. The bullet entered near his knee and was lodged near his ankle, police said. At the hospital, the man told police he was shot at an intersection a few blocks from his mother's house.

Officers found a 1999 Buick Le Sabre with blood outside the driver’s side door and on the driver’s floorboard and a spent shell casing on the passenger floorboard in the area.

The vehicle was towed to the crime scene bay. No one has been arrested.
