We had two separate shootings into homes and striking victims overnight. It is very early in the investigations and we are still trying to determine whether they are related. However, preliminary information suggests there is no link between the cases.

Detectives are actively working these cases and urge anyone with information to call St. Petersburg Police 727-893-7711 or text SPPD plus your tip, to TIP411.
