Alexandria Police are investigating the shooting of two people in separate incidents over the weekend in Alexandria.
A juvenile was shot in the leg on Friday night, October 23, in the 1800 block of Diagonal Road in Old Town, according to police. The teenage victim was taken to the hospital by his mother, and police found shell casings at the scene.
The suspects in the case are not known, and police incorrectly tweeted that no one was injured.

The patron was shot in the upper body and was taken to the hospital in serious condition, according to police.
The security guard was not charged and the incident is under investigation.
