Street shooting in Harrisburg leaves 2 men dead, 3 people wounded

HARRISBURG, Pa. — A street shooting in Pennsylvania's capital city has left two men dead and three other people wounded.

Harrisburg police found three of the victims when they responded to reports of shots fired shortly before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. A fourth victim showed up at the scene a short time later, and all four were taken to a hospital, where the two men were pronounced dead, police said in a news release. Their names have not been released.

A few hours later, the fifth victim went to a hospital for treatment. The wounded victims — a man and two women — were all expected to recover, authorities said. Their names and further details about their injuries were not disclosed.

Authorities said Wednesday that a motive for the shooting remains under investigation. No arrests have been made.
