Two people were injured in separate shootings in Chattanooga early Tuesday morning.
The first incident took place at around 1:15 a.m. when police were called to a home in the 100 block of Signal Hills Drive.
Police found a man lying in the road with a gunshot wound to the leg, a news release said. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injury that was not considered life-threatening.
The victim told police he was shot during an attempted robbery.
Then, all the way on the other side of the city at around 7:27 a.m., police were called to the 4300 block of 14th Avenue.
There, a man had sustained a gunshot wound to the leg that was not considered life-threatening. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
The man told police he heard several gunshots before realizing he had been shot, according to a second news release.
No additional information was available for the two shootings, as they're still under investigation.
Tuesday's two shootings mark the city's 89th and 90th non-fatal shootings of 2018, according to Times Free Press records. By this time last year, the city had seen 111 shootings.
