Two Struck by Gunfire Inside Different Homes In Pembroke Township Overnight
At approximately 8:42 PM yesterday evening, sheriff’s deputies were dispatched and responded to the area of 3000 South Rd. just east of 13000 East Rd. in regards to Shots Fired. Prior to arriving, deputies learned that two people had been shot at different addresses and were being transported to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
Sheriff’s investigators arrived to process the different scenes and determined that one of the shooting victims, a 31-year old female, was struck by gunfire (in the leg) while inside her residence.
