Police are investigating two separate shootings that left people injured early Sunday morning in Lexington.
The first happened outside Two Keys Tavern on South Limestone at about 1:40 a.m., according to police. Two people were in an argument and one pulled out a firearm and shot the other, police Lt. Matt Brotherton said. The man who was shot was treated for injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening.
About an hour later, a second shooting was reported, this time near the Fox Club on Winchester Road.
Police were called to the Fox Club for a report of several people who were fighting, Brotherton said. After officers arrived, shots were fired on nearby Hillcrest Avenue. At least one house was struck by gunfire, and a person inside one of the houses had minor scrapes caused by debris.
A short while after the shooting on Hillcrest Avenue, a male juvenile arrived at a Lexington hospital with a gunshot wound, Brotherton said. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
Both shootings remain under investigation.
