A 27-year-old Hispanic woman and a 20-year-old Asian woman suffered gunshot wounds to their left leg and upper left thigh, respectively. Both victims were transported to Presbyterian Hospital and are reported to be in stable condition. Authorities are actively investigating the incident, but as of yet, no crime scene has been established, no weapon recovered, and no arrests made.
