TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating after a juvenile and adult man were hurt in a pair of late-night shootings along West Tennessee Street.

On Saturday, June 20, at approximately 1 a.m., officers received a call for service and responded to the area of West Tennessee Street and Appleyard Drive to investigate the sounds of gunfire in the area.

A little while later, a juvenile male victim arrived at a local hospital suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Police say the victim, who had been riding in a car when he was shot, confirmed the location of the crime.

The next night, around 2 a.m., officers received a call for service and responded to a parking lot in the 2600 block of West Tennessee Street where an adult male was suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
