A man was killed and three others were hurt after two shootings occurred within 20 minutes of each other in the same area in Wilmington, Delaware Wednesday afternoon.
A gunman opened fire on 4th and Monroe streets shortly after 4 p.m. Responding police officers found a 53-year-old man on the 300 block of North Monroe Street suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdominal area. He was transported to Christiana Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
About 20 minutes later more shots were fired on 3rd and North Lincoln streets, which is about a mile away from the scene of the first shooting. When police arrived they found a 61-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper leg. He was taken to Christiana Hospital where he is currently in stable condition.
Two 24-year-old men were also struck in the legs during the shooting. One of the men was taken to St. Francis Hospital where he is in good condition. The other man was taken to Christiana Hospital where he is in stable condition.
Police have not yet determined whether the two shootings are related. The man who was killed has not yet been identified and no arrests have been made.
