Raleigh police said Sunday they’re investigating two shootings not far from N.C. State University’s McKimmon Center within a roughly two-hour period overnight.

Each shooting resulted in a male victim being taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The first happened at approximately 11:49 p.m. Saturday, where Sherman Avenue and Clanton Street intersect. At 1:50 a.m., Sunday, police responded to the second shooting at Sherman Avenue and Gorman Street, an intersection two blocks away.

Sherman Avenue runs parallel to Western Boulevard, a busy thoroughfare with restaurants and retail stores.

Police said in a news release “it is unknown if the two incidents are related.”

N.C. State police are assisting with the investigation into both shootings.
