The Journal Gazette reports that about 10 minutes later another shooting was reported about 3 miles away on West Branning Avenue, near Fairfield Avenue. Police found a man inside a home on West Branning with two gunshot wounds to his back.

He was taken to an area hospital, where he was last reported in good condition.
