A second person suffered a gunshot wound that Owensboro police say is not life-threatening. Officials said the incident is not believed to be related to the other shooting that injured one person Thursday afternoon.

According to OPD, patrol officers responded to a complaint of firearms use in the 2800 block of Daviess Street. The person shot was transported to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital by AMR Ambulance, officials said.

Criminal Investigation Department detectives are en route to the scene to assist with the investigation.
