KENTWOOD - Two men were injured in a double shooting in the Kentwood area early Saturday morning, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office.

Deputies say they responded to two separate calls around 1:30 a.m. of one man being shot in the leg while sitting in his car outside a bar in the 78000 block of U.S. Highway 51 and another call of a man being shot at an address on Potts Road near the area.

Deputies determined the two individuals, a 26-year-old man and a 29-year-old man, were related to the same incident. Both men were hospitalized, but at this time, neither is facing life-threatening injuries.

Candace Clark, the manager at Skinny's Lounge, the bar near where the shooting happened, spoke about the surprise that the shooting happened in that area.

"I feel like here is a safe place, we've never had any incidents happen here, it is scary that it's happening so close to home because I don't want people to think this is not a place they can come to anymore because of the things happening around us," Clark said.

Another shooting took place in Kentwood on Wednesday outside of a gas station, resulting in one person killed.

Anyone with information is urged to reach out to TPSO at 985-902-2008.
