A pair of shootings less than two blocks apart in Bella Vista left three teens injured early Sunday.
Officers first responded about 1:20 a.m. to the 800 block of South Street, where they found a 16-year-old shot in his left thigh and a 17-year-old shot in his left leg, police said.
Both were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and placed in stable condition.
The victims told investigators they were walking west on South Street when they saw a group of men get into an argument at the intersection of 9th Street, police said. One of the men pulled out a handgun during the dispute and fired several shots, according to the victims' account.
That man is described as a 5-foot-7 black male between the ages of 18 and 21.
Officers were again called to the area shortly before 2:45 a.m. for a report of gunshots on the 900 block of Bainbridge Street.
There, they found a 19-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. He was also placed in stable condition at Jefferson.
