A victim was located and found to be suffering from non-life-threatening wounds. About 15 minutes later, a second call was received from a victim reporting that a subject had brandished a firearm at them in the area of Elm Avenue and 4th Street. That victim also reported a second victim of a gunshot wound. A second person suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound was found in the agricultural fields south of Elm Avenue and 3rd Street. Both victims were transported to a trauma center for treatment of their injuries.
