DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Three children were wounded in two separate shootings in a North Carolina city in a four-hour span, police said Wednesday.

One adult and two children were found shot at a residence around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Durham police said in a news release. Police said the adult and one of the children have critical injuries, while five adults arrived at local hospitals on their own for treatment of gunshot wounds.

Around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, officers responding to a call found a 12-year-old and an adult who had been shot, police said. The child has life-threatening injuries, according to the news release, which also said the adult arrived at the hospital on their own for treatment of injuries not believed to be life-threatening.



Police have made no arrests in either incident. A virtual news conference was scheduled for Wednesday to provide additional information.
