On May 12, 2024, at approximately 3:00 p.m., North District General Patrol Officers responded to the 200 block of Powers Street regarding the sound of gunshots.
Upon arrival, officers located two injured females within a residence, one of which sustained a gunshot wound. Emergency medical care was provided by applying a tourniquet and bandages. The victims, a 42-year-old female (gunshot injury) and a 39-year-old female were transported to hospital and are in stable condition.
