Two more shot near South Hanover Street

Cape Girardeau police responded to a shooting Tuesday night on Bloomfield Street near South Hanover Street, said Sgt. Barry Hovis, spokesman for the police department.

Two men, one a teenager, were wounded in Tuesday's incident; Hovis said not much more is known at this time.

Police received the call around 10:15 p.m. of gunfire in the area, Hovis said.

A 27-year-old man was shot in the arm, the bullet passed through and entered the side, where it became lodged in his hip, Hovis said.

A 16-year-old also suffered a gunshot wound to the foot, Hovis said. Neither injury was considered life threatening, and both were transported by private vehicle or by foot to an area hospital for treatment.

Police do not know whether the incident was isolated, or connected to Sunday's shooting on the 400 block of Hanover Street, during which a bullet struck a man, 27, in the thigh.
