SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Police in Syracuse are investigating two shootings that have left four people being treated for gunshot wounds.

Officers responding around 11 p.m. Sunday to reports of a shooting on West Beard Avenue found two men, ages 31 and 32, both suffering from gunshot wounds to their lower legs. Both men were taken to Upstate University Hospital treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
