2 Men Shot; 1 Clinging To Life

A double shooting took place Monday afternoon on Thompson Street between Shelton Avenue and Newhall Street.

The shooting occurred just after 1 p.m., according to Police Chief Karl Jacobson.

One man, a 26-year-old from Newhallville whom Jacobson said he knows personally, sustained life-threatening injuries from multiple bullets, the chief said. The other, who is 20 years old, sustained a non-life-threatening leg injury. 

It appears that they were targeted,” Jacobson said.

The police closed off surrounding streets as they began investigating the incident. No other details were immediately available.
