The St. Joseph Police Department is investigating after an incident Wednesday night in midtown resulted in two shooting victims.

Capt. Jeff Wilson said officers responded to a shooting call shortly after 10 p.m. to the area of 17th and Sacramento streets.

One victim was a 40-year-old St. Joseph resident, the other was a 20-year-old St. Joseph resident. One of the men was shot in his foot and has been treated and released from the hospital.  The other received a gunshot to his leg, however, Wilson said the bullet was deflected by something in his pocket and the man was not injured.  Police said the men reported hearing three to four shots fired. No suspect description was provided.
