Three men were rushed to University Hospital Wednesday afternoon after gunfire erupted at 12th and Hill streets. There were three victims in the case, but it appears at least one was not the intended target. One victim, a man in his 50’s, was a store clerk at the Save More Mart. Police said the store clerk was in the back of the store working, when a bullet broke through the glass of the front door and hit him in the neck. Two others, a 23 -year-old and a 25-year-old man, who were found in between two apartment buildings, were taken to University Hospital with what police described as non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting happened just before 3:30 p.m., and while police have obtained some surveillance video they have not named any suspects. Police said there were people in the area at the time of the shooting and that’s who they need to help make arrests. “We’re out here working and we need everybody’s help to put an end to this. This is the second triple shooting of this week. It’s very frustrating, very tiring for all of our detectives out here working it, we’re also working all the homicides that have happened this week. In any of those cases we’re looking for help,” Lt. Emily McKinley said. Anyone with information is asked to call that anonymous police tip line at 502-574-LMPD.
