The two victims were taken to the nearest medical care centre for treatment. Police responded to the scene and immediately launched a manhunt for the suspects. Two suspects were arrested in Westbury while the lookout is continuing for a suspect that is still at large. The motive for the shooting cannot be confirmed at this stage.
