POLICE are investigating a shooting incident that left two men in hospital Tuesday night.
According to reports, shortly after 6pm, two men were walking on Fowler Street off East Street, when they were both shot.
They were taken to hospital where they are listed in serious, but stable condition.
Anyone with information on this shooting is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.
In other crime news, police arrested two adult males for being in possession of a large amount of counterfeit money.
According to reports, the suspects were arrested shortly before 4pm, after officers from the Selective Enforcement Team discovered a large amount of $100 counterfeit notes in their possession, during a routine stop and search on 7th Street, Coconut Grove.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Stephen Dean said officers fear there many be more notes in circulation and want to speak to anyone who may have accepted one of the false notes as a part of a transaction or who many have declined to accept the money.
Retailers are warned to take extra precautions when accepting a $100 note, particularly if it is payment for a small purchase or an exchange for smaller notes.
