The Saturday sunset brought out plenty of violence in Lexington. Police responded to 3 shootings in a span of just a few hours Saturday evening, which left two people with gunshot wounds.
The first shooting happened around 6 p.m. near Loudon and Winchester Road, in what police are calling a road rage incident. A friend of the victim says he was a passenger in his friend’s truck. As the two approached Winchester and Loudon, a white SUV came up behind them and hit them.

He says his friend flipped the driver of the vehicle off, and then someone in the SUV fired shots hitting the driver in the hand.
Just two hours later near the intersection of East 6th and Mustang Crossing, there was another call for shots fired.
Police still haven’t released many details on who may have been shooting or any injuries but Ronald Burns says he was just in his car talking to a friend when he heard the gunfire. Next thing he knew, his car was hit by a bullet.
“In the trunk right up under the license plate, and what saved me was a bag of towels I just got from a good friend of mine,” said Burns.
Around 9:30 Saturday night, a homeowner was shot in the hip during a home invasion on Bryan Avenue.
John Lewis doesn’t live far away and says as someone who walks a lot, it is hard to feel safe.
“I don’t want to get hit by no stray bullet by someone arguing with someone. They pull out a gun, shoot and miss and hit me,” said Lewis.
He now echoes the same cry that many people have.
“Stop the violence. That is all I want to add. Stop the violence,” he said.
Police say no arrests have been made in any of those three cases. If you have any information that could help, you are asked to call the police department.
