Another 25-year-old man who was shot in the ankle and a 21-year-old man who was shot in the groin also transported themselves to the same hospital.
The shooters fled northbound on North Lavergne Avenue. No arrests had been made as of Sunday evening, and area detectives are investigating, according to police.
