DETROIT (WWJ) -- Three people have been hospitalized after two different shootings broke out on Detroit's east side Wednesday night.
Detroit police say two victims were working on a vehicle on the 1400 block of Mapleridge St. at around 10 p.m. when a suspect dressed in all black got out of a silver Dodge Magnum and fired multiple shots in their direction.
A 53-year-old victim is in serious condition and a 26-year-old victim is in critical condition.
Another shooting took place nearby earlier in the night just before 9:30 p.m. on the 1300 block of Lenox St.
Police say a man was standing in front of a house when an older Chevy Impala pulled up and someone inside began firing shots. The victim tried to run away, but was struck in the leg.
