LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Louisville police are investigating after two people showed up to a local hospital with gunshot wounds.

According to Louisville Metro Police Spokesperson John Bradley, officers were called to Suburban Hospital on Dutchman's Lane around 4:15 p.m. Friday and found a man and a teen boy had been shot multiple times.

Bradley said the man was transferred to University of Louisville Hospital, and the teenager was transferred to Norton Children's Hospital downtown. Bradley said both are expected to survive.
