Tragedy struck Parkway Village yesterday when bullets tore through the 2700 block of Getwell Road, critically wounding two men in a shooting that has left Memphis Police searching for answers. According to Local Memphis, officers responded to a shooting at around 1:20 p.m., discovering one gunshot victim swiftly rushed to Regional One Hospital to be treated for severe injuries.
Meanwhile, as the crime scene was cordoned off with police tape, restricting access to the gas pumps of an Exxon station, an echo of the first event was unfolding with a second shooting victim arriving at Baptist East Hospital in critical condition, the report coming in at just after 1:40 p.m. according to FOX13 Memphis.
Memphis Police are piecing together the harrowing events, considering the possibility that both victims are linked to the same shooting incident. As of now, details about the perpetrator or perpetrators have not surfaced, leaving a cloud of uncertainty over the neighborhood. Memphis Police have declined to provide additional information as the investigation stretches onward.
Local authorities urge anyone with knowledge that could cast light on this grim tableau to step forward and contact Crime Stoppers immediately, a beacon of hope that some truth may yet emerge from the shadow of gunfire. In a somber call to action, residents are reminded by WREG to deliver any details they may have by reaching out to Memphis CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.
