Oklahoma City Police were investigating two Monday morning shootings, including one in which two juveniles were injured and another in which one of the suspects was a juvenile.

Investigators said the first shooting happened at about 3:30 a.m. on the 8000 block of Northwest 80th Street. Two juveniles were standing outside of an "underage party" when a gunman in a vehicle shot them in their legs, said police.

Someone then drove the two victims away from the scene, but police said they later found the vehicle with a shot-out tire at North Rockwell Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard.

Investigators said the two juveniles were taken to OU Medical Center, where they were listed as stable.

Police said the gunman also shot at a home on the 8000 block of Northwest 80th Street. Officers detained an adult and seven juveniles from the home, but they were all uncooperative, police said.

Several hours later, there was another shooting on Northwest 6th Street and Flamingo Avenue, said police.

Two suspects were dragging the victim into a nearby apartment complex, but then dropped the victim on the ground and ran into an apartment unit, said investigators. 

"We realized we found where they were staying. We surrounded the apartment, called them out. And we have nine people that were inside the apartment and two of them are supposedly the suspects," said Capt. Ivan Esau with the Oklahoma City Police Department.

Police later identified the shooting victim as 22-year-old Treshan Williams, who was listed as stable and went into surgery.

Investigators said several people were taken to police headquarters for questioning. Police said while no one was formally arrested for the shooting near the apartment complex as of Monday afternoon, they do believe one of the people in custody was the shooter.

Police said of the two suspects involved, one of them was a male juvenile.
