LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Police is investigating the second triple shooting reported within a span of nearly three hours Tuesday night. 

Three people were shot at South 40th and West Market streets, according to a statement from LMPD spokeswoman Beth Ruoff. The shooting was reported at 10:37 p.m., a supervisor with MetroSafe told WDRB News. 

LMPD first identified the victims as a woman and two men but later issued a correction saying the victims included an adult male and two juvenile males. All three were taken to University of Louisville Hospital to be treated for what Ruoff described as "non-life-threatening" gunshot wounds.

The triple shooting in the Shawnee neighborhood happened just hours after police said a man was killed and two others were critically injured in a shooting on East Breckinridge Street in the Smoketown neighborhood. 

LMPD officials said they do not believe the shootings are connected, and investigators were still searching for suspects Wednesday morning. Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to call the department's tip line at 502-574-LMPD (5673). Callers can remain anonymous.
