Double shooting investigation underway in Indian River County; 2 men hospitalized
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY – Two men were hospitalized with gunshot wounds following a shooting at a residence north of Vero Beach, a law enforcement official said.
Both men were taken to Health First's Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne because of the severity of their wounds, said an Indian River County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.
Detectives are working to determine what led to the shooting inside the residence in the 4200 block of 32nd Avenue on May 11, Capt. Joe Abollo said.
The two men were first taken to Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital emergency room around 2:30 p.m., which led to the investigation, according to a news release.
A third man who was said to be a person of interest was found near the home and questioned by law enforcement.
The person was initially apprehended by deputies as the suspected shooter, according to the news release, however, Abollo said Monday he was released and was 'cooperating with the investigation.'
As of May 12 he said no one was in custody and there were no suspects, and that the shooting was considered an isolated incident.
A firearm was also recovered at the property as evidence.
