RALEIGH, N.C. — Police are investigating two separate shooting scenes in Raleigh and whether they might be connected.

A person was shot in each place.

Police were called to Rock Quarry Road on Thursday night.

Police believe several shots were fired from a passing vehicle.

A bullet went through a window in a business and hit a security guard in the arm.

His injuries appeared to be minor.

Police do not believe he was the intended target.

They have no suspects and no witnesses to the shooting.

Then, police say bullets were flying again less than a mile away near the intersection of New Bern Avenue and Raleigh Boulevard, where another man was also shot in the arm.

Investigators said his injuries were more significant but not life-threatening.

Police are looking into whether that victim was an intended target.

It is not clear if the incident was also a drive-by style shooting.

Police say people who may have seen something have not been cooperative.

No arrests have been made there, either.

Anyone with information about either shooting can call Raleigh CrimeStoppers at 919-834-HELP (4357).
