Some people got lucky as well in the shooting incidents and they only got injured. In Fernwood, two men were injured in a shooting incident. Some people opened the fire on them from an SUV of dark color, according to the police.

Christ Medical Center admitted a person in serious condition who was shot in his head. 31 – year – old man was brought to the Stronger Hospital who was shot in arm by a person. Police said, “the shot was fired due to an argument between them”.
