At 11:07 p.m., dispatch started getting reports of a shooting on Walnut Street. Responding officers located shell casing in the area of 7th and Walnut streets, and 11th Street and Lawry Lane as well.

At 11:21 p.m., officers located the suspect vehicle and executed a high-risk traffic stop near 13th and Pennsylvania streets. Police took two men into custody without incident, according to police.
