The New Orleans Police Department is investigating a double shooting Uptown.
"The incident occurred around 4:44 p.m. near the intersection of Hickory and Leonidas Streets," police said. "Two male victims sustained gunshot wounds to the legs."
It was the third incident to happen Saturday afternoon. Around 2:40 p.m., a man was shot in the 9000 block of Olive St. in Holly Grove. That was about a half-hour after a Gert Town shooting that injured a man near the intersection of South Genois and Erato streets.
EMS took the victims in all three incidents to the hospital. Authorities did not release information on their conditions.
Police say anyone who has information should call Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 or toll free at (877) 903-7867 (STOP). Callers to Crimestoppers do not have to leave their names and may be eligible for a cash reward.
