The Memphis Police Department is currently investigating a pair of shootings that occurred in Parkway Village earlier. Action News 5 reports two separate incidents, one on Fairbrook Avenue around 6:30 a.m. and another nearby on American Way, close to a local motel. However, at the time of the report, it was not confirmed if anyone was struck by the gunfire.
In a related development, FOX13 Memphis disclosed that the police responded to a shooting just before 6:15 a.m. at the Classic Inn on American Way. A man and a woman were found with gunshot wounds, and they were taken to Regional One in critical and non-critical conditions, respectively.
