She later realised that she was shot in the neck. The victim was taken to the hospital by private vehicle where she was treated and later discharged.

Hours later, shortly before 7pm, police were told that a man was shot while on Woods Alley off Market Street. Initial investigations revealed that the victim was approached by the occupants of a small Japanese vehicle; one of them discharged a firearm in his direction and shot him in the left hand.

The victim was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, where he is listed in stable condition.
