Police are investigating a double shooting near the intersection of 54th and Walnut Streets that sent two people to the hospital. Police say the shooting took place at around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday when two 20-year-old male victims were approached by three suspects who asked them for the time. Then two of the suspects pulled out guns, and the young men started running away in opposite directions, according to a police report. The suspects opened fire at the fleeing men, wounding both of them. One victim was shot in the leg and the other was shot in the finger, according to police. They were taken to Presbyterian Hospital and listed in stable condition.
The same night, in a separate incident, a 23-year old man was shot in the thigh while walking near the intersection of 55th St. and Walton Ave., according to police. This shooting happened at around 12:15 a.m. on Thursday. The man was taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition.
No arrests have been made in either shooting. The investigation continues.

Next time when a stranger asks me “the time” I will know, also, as did the “victims”, to start running.
