LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Two suspects are questioned in connection with a shooting that left two men injured.

Lexington police say it happened at about 1:15 Monday afternoon at a house at 436 Smith St. Two people were injured and witnesses were able to give police “good descriptions” of the suspected shooters. With the help of a police helicopter, officers found the two suspects a few blocks away at the Coolivan Apartments on Sixth Street.

Just more than a hour earlier, a man was shot in the leg during a shooting in the 2200 block of Devonport Drive. The man was able to leave the scene in his bullet-riddled Toyota Camry and meet police at a business on Versailles Road. Police say the suspects left the shooting scene in a dark-colored Chevrolet, possibly a Malibu.

Officers say they found multiple shell casings and witnesses said they heard as many as 15 or 20 shots.

Police say they don’t think the two shootings are related.
