Police Lt. Kyle Gautsch said the bullet struck the victims about 5:30 p.m. while they were walking northbound near Second and Locust streets.Hundreds of people were downtown at the time eating at restaurants and visiting bars. It’s unknown if the two were the intended targets of the shooting, Gautsch said. Police are working to try to identify the shooter.Less than five hours later, residents in Midtown posted on social media that they heard more than ten gunshots in what sounded like a rolling gun battle. Residents heard the gunfire near Reily and Fulton streets and North 3rd and Kelker streets.
Gautsch said he was not aware of anyone being hit in that shooting. Three residents reported hearing gunshots to police; one at 10 p.m. and two at 11:30 p.m. He said there was no evidence connecting any gunshots in Midtown to the earlier shooting downtown.Police provided the information at a city briefing on Tuesday. The government offices were closed Monday for Presidents’ Day.
