Savannah-Chatham police are investigating two shootings that occurred on Monday.
At 4:23 pm., metro responded to the 300 block of Lawton Street, where a 17-year-old male was found suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was transported to Medical University Medical Center for care.
Detectives received several conflicting accounts of the events leading up to this shooting, and recovered no evidence supporting the claims.
Hours later, at 10:55 p.m., metro responded to the 1300 block of East 60th Street where a 32-year-old man was found suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, said Eunicia Baker, Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman. He was transported to Memorial University Medical Center for treatment.
The man was reportedly walking near 55th Street when an unknown suspect greeted him before opening fire, Baker said. The man left the scene and sought help on East 60th Street. Investigators are following leads on this case and also working to determine whether the man’s injury was self-inflicted.
