Witnesses told police that Jackson, 23, had been shot at by people in a dark-colored vehicle that drove by. Jackson was hit in the left arm and torso. His wounds were not life-threatening.
The second shooting occurred at 37 Scruggs St. Police were called to the hospital around 11 p.m. on a report of a person shot.
