Preliminary information indicates the shootings are unrelated, and police are investigating the circumstances of both, said police spokeswoman Alyssa Arcand. No one was under arrest in either case as of early Friday afternoon.

Officers were called to a shooting in Payne-Phalen just before 10:45 a.m. They found a man in the 800 block of Forest Street who’d been shot in the leg and he was taken to the hospital.

Then, just before 11 a.m., a man arrived at Regions Hospital with a gunshot wound to his ankle. He said he’d been shot near Marion Street and Aurora Avenue in the Summit-University area.

Both men sustained non-life threatening injuries, Arcand said.
