WILMINGTON, Del. — A woman and a teenager were hospitalized Monday night after a shooting at an apartment complex in Wilmington, according to police.
Authorities said officers responded to reports of gunfire at the Paladin Club Apartments in the 800 block of Park Court late Monday. When officers arrived, they found a 44-year-old woman and a 15-year-old teen suffering from gunshot wounds.
Both victims were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police have not released details about the severity of their injuries and said their conditions were not immediately available as of late Monday night.
