Montgomery police responded to a reported shooting just after midnight on the 4300 block of White Acres Road, a quiet stretch off Vaughn Road between the Perry Hill Road and Eastern Boulevard intersections. Lieutenant J. Scott Dunn, speaking to Action 8 News, said officers arrived to find a man suffering a life‑threatening gunshot wound. Emergency responders rushed the victim to a local hospital for critical care.

Shortly after, medical staff alerted police that a second man had been admitted to the same facility with a non‑life‑threatening gunshot wound. Both victims are currently being treated, and their conditions are being closely monitored.

Investigation underway

Detectives are in the early stages of determining what led to the exchange of gunfire.

Lt. Dunn emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and that anyone with information is urged to contact CrimeStoppers at (334) 215‑STOP. Calls can be made anonymously, and tips may prove crucial in identifying any additional parties involved.
