Police said a 22-year-old male was shot near the intersection of N. Water and E. Knapp Street at 12:42 a.m. He was taken to a local hospital and treated for his non-life-threatening injuries. Police say they have a suspect in custody, and the circumstances leading up to the shooting are under investigation.
At the same time, at a block south on N. Water Street at E. Juneau Street, two people were shot. A 19-year-old female and a 32-year-old male were shot and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. They were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Police have a suspect in custody but are still searching for additional subjects.
