In this case, two individuals were injured. Both were taken to an area hospital, with authorities noting that one victim is currently listed in critical condition while the other is being treated for less severe injuries.
At this time, detectives have not released information regarding suspects or possible motives in either case. However, investigators stressed that the incidents do not appear to be connected and that there is no indication of an ongoing threat to the wider community.
The HCPD continues to actively gather evidence, interview witnesses, and piece together the timeline of events in both investigations.
