The Corinth Police Department responded to two shootings minutes apart early Thursday that left three people injured, an official said.

All the shooting victims were expected to survive.

The first shooting call was at 2:24 a.m. and occurred at an apartment in the 1600 block of Sixth Street, Corinth Police Detective Capt. Dell Green said. A male had been struck after several rounds were fired through a bedroom window, Green added. The male was transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth.

The second shooting call was reported at 2:40 a.m. at a duplex in the 800 block of Graham Street. A gun was fired through a bedroom window, and a male and female were struck, Green said.

They were transported to MRHC, and the male was later transferred to Regional One Health in Memphis, Green noted.

Corinth Police are still developing suspects and a possible link between the two incidents, he said. There is no description of a vehicle or suspect at this time, Green said.
