CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two men are dead Thursday night after they were shot in an apartment building in Cleveland's Warehouse District.

Police were initially called to the Archer apartment building on West 9th Street about 8:30 p.m. for a robbery, Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said. On scene, the officers discovered the victims.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene, Ciaccia said. Another man was taken to MetroHealth in critical condition by paramedics.

The second victim was pronounced dead at the hospital about two hours after the shooting, Ciaccia said.

Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators remained at the apartment building as of 11 p.m.

The victims will be identified by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office once families have been notified.

Witnesses told police that two male suspects ran from the scene before officers arrived. They have not yet been identified.
