Downtown Shooting Leaves Two Men Injured at Archer and Greenwood
September 7, 2025 – Downtown — Authorities are investigating a weekend shooting in downtown that left two men hospitalized after gunfire erupted near the intersection of Archer and Greenwood in the early morning hours of Sunday.
The Incident
According to police, officers were dispatched to the area at 12:24 a.m. on September 7, 2025, following reports of shots fired. When they arrived on scene, they discovered a 32-year-old male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders immediately began providing aid before transporting him for further treatment.
Shortly afterward, officers were notified that a 31-year-old male had arrived at a local hospital by private vehicle. He, too, had sustained several gunshot injuries believed to be related to the same incident.
Investigation Findings
Preliminary investigations indicate that both victims had been speaking with individuals inside an SUV moments before the shooting occurred. At some point during the interaction, someone from within the SUV opened fire, striking both men multiple times.
Following the gunfire, the SUV fled the scene, leaving behind chaos and confusion. Detectives are now working to gather surveillance footage from the surrounding area and interview potential witnesses to piece together what led to the shooting.
Condition of the Victims
Despite the severity of their injuries, authorities confirmed that both men are expected to survive. The quick response of first responders and the fact that one victim was transported to the hospital immediately by private vehicle are believed to have played critical roles in their chances of recovery.
