A second shooting on Tuesday night that injured one person was reported by the Modesto Police Department.
The shooting happened on the 300 block of Spruce Street at about 8:40 p.m., about 40 minutes after, and less than a mile from a reported shooting and stabbing that occurred on the 300 block of Wheatley Avenue.
Officers arrived and found a 41-year-old woman with gunshot wounds to her leg and lower back. She was transferred to a local hospital.
Upon investigation, officers believe the woman was in the front yard of a residence when someone approached her then fired at her with a shotgun.
