Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered signs of damage to a nearby building and a vehicle. However, no victims were initially found on site. Shortly afterward, two adult males presented themselves at a local hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Their arrival and the injuries they had sustained immediately alerted the healthcare staff, who then contacted the Lexington police.
