Investigations are ongoing after two separate shootings this week in the St Paul’s community

Two young men are currently recovering from their gunshot wounds.

The first attack took place on Wednesday evening.

An unknown gunman fired one shot in Rawlins Housing around 10pm, with a bullet grazing the victim.

The assailant then fled the scene, police said.

Another random incident?

According to the police, shortly after the first incident officers from the Violent Crimes Unit were called to a shooting at the Pogson Hospital, Sandy Point.

The victim has been walking in St Paul's when he was attacked by two masked gunmen.

He received one bullet wound to his shoulder and another to his right side.

Both men were taken to Joseph N France General Hospital.
