St. Joseph police responded to two separate shooting calls Tuesday night.
Police say they have little to go on in the first shooting, which took place around 9:30 last night in the 800 block of North 24th Street. No one is cooperating. Police report they have had phone contact with the likely target of the shooting and have a suspect in mind, but though there were several calls about the shooting, few people are talking.
Later in the evening, police responded to calls about a shooting in the 2700 block of Blackwell Road. Officers discovered a pick-up in the ditch with bullet holes in it. Other evidence of a shooting was found in the roadway.
Police says that shooting took place around 11 o’clock. The driver and a passenger in the pick-up were not wounded. Officers tracked down a suspect and took him into custody about half an hour later. He is described as a white male in his 30s.
