Two suspects fired at a 20-year-old man as he was walking home on 24th near Shotwell Friday night, according to police. The victim was not hit by the gunshots but did flee the area. When officers found him they noticed he had an abrasion on his hand as a result of ducking the bullets, and he was treated by paramedics at the scene. The incident happened just before 11:30 p.m.
A little while later, police located a car on 21st and Shotwell streets that matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle. Officers found a firearm in the car and arrested the suspects, ages 30 and 36, who were booked on multiple felony firearm charges.
