Memphis shooting – two dead after drive-by

In a spate of gun violence in Memphis, two men are dead, a man is critically injured and a 9-month-old boy is in serious condition after a drive-by shooting.

Police said an argument between two men led to a drive-by shooting that happened around 6.30pm on Wednesday, CBS Local reports.

The shooting happened in front of Graceland, a tourist attraction in the area.

The woman who was on the porch at the time of the shooting was unhurt, although the three children in the back of the house were hurt and received medical attention, CBS Local reports.

“Everybody is trying to calm themselves down… that we got to continue on with our lives,” one woman said.

“It’s crazy because this is pretty much the tourist area in Memphis,” she said.
