A 23-year-old man was found shot and a second gunshot victim, an 18-year-old woman, fled but flagged down Dayton Fire Department medics who took her to Miami Valley Hospital, said Dayton police Lt. Steven Bauer.
“Due to the rapidly evolving situation of having two victims and the close proximity of the hospital, officers quickly loaded the first victim into a cruiser and rapidly transported him to MVH for life-saving medical attention,” Bauer said.
The man is in critical condition and the woman’s injuries are not life-threatening, he said.
The second double shooting was reported around 2:35 a.m. in the 2500 block of North Gettysburg Avenue.
Officers found a 28-year-old man who had been shot and began life-saving medical care while waiting for medics to take him to Miami Valley Hospital, Bauer said. He is in critical condition.
A second gunshot victim, a 25-year-old man, fled the scene but was found nearby. Medics also took him to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment of injuries that are not life-threatening.
The Dayton Police Department is seeking anyone who might have information about either shooting to call 937-333-1232 to speak with a detective. To remain anonymous, contact Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 937-222-STOP (7867) or www.miamivalleycrimestoppers.com.
