Two wounded in city shooting

Twenty-three year old Chester Noralez and seventeen-year-old Reynold Michael remain in the Karl Huesner Memorial Hospital recovering from gunshot wounds to their right leg and right side of the neck respectively. Both young men have told police that around eight forty on Thursday night, they were standing on Amara Avenue when two men rode by on separate bicycles and fired at them. When police visited the scene, they recovered eleven spent nine-millimetre shells. Noralez and Michael claim they do not know who tried to kill them but sources tell News 5 the incident may be the result of a longstanding dispute. However, both men have told the media that because they have no misunderstanding with anyone, they believe the bullets were meant for someone else.
