LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Police are investigating after two people were shot in Louisville's St. Denis neighborhood Tuesday night.

Officers were called to Modern Way, near Cane Run and Farnsley roads, just before 8:30 p.m. on a reported shooting, LMPD Spokesperson Sgt. Matt Sanders said in a statement.

Once on scene, police found a man who had been shot in the leg. He was transported to University of Louisville Hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening, Sanders said.

Shortly after that run, a female victim was brought to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the shoulder. Her condition and the extent of her injuries were not provided.

Investigators believe both were involved in the incident.

Sanders said "given the high number of people in this area at the time and the large volume of 911 calls reporting gunfire," police are asking anyone who may have information or footage of the incident to give them a call.

Anyone with information in this or any other case is encouraged to call LMPD's anonymous Crime Tip Line at (502) 574-LMPD (5673). Tips can also be submitted anonymously through the department's online Crime Tip Portal by clicking here.
