Both the victim and suspect fled the scene of a shooting on Lexington’s East side Wednesday.
“We don’t have much as far as who the victim or who the suspect is because both did flee the scene,” said Lt. Tommy Perkins. “We did have canine out to help assist track and during that time we actually locked down the schools, I had the schools locked down for approximately 45 minutes because of safety reasons.”
It happened around 2:15 p.m. outside of the Eastland Food Mart.

The woman inside the store told LEX 18 that she heard a gunshot, then a man in a grey shirt ran inside the store. He was bleeding from his stomach.
As she called 911, the victim fled.
People at the bar nearby said that they heard the shot and saw two black men in black T-shirts and jeans run from the area.
When police arrived on scene they made sure that neighboring Yates Elementary School was safe, putting it on lockdown. Then they had the canine unit scour the area.
Police found evidence that someone was shot, and not much more.
Due to the lack of information on the case, police are asking people to call if they witnessed or heard anything.
