A man struck by a stray bullet while in a home and a 14-year-old girl are among three people wounded in two separate shootings Monday evening and Tuesday morning, police said.

According to Milwaukee police:

The man was in a home in the 2300 block of N. 6th St. when the occupants of two vehicles began shooting at each other shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday.

He was taken to a hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

The girl and a 20-year-old man were shot about 7:30 p.m. Monday while sitting on a porch in the 800 block of S. 6th St. by two assailants who appeared from a nearby alley.

The girl was treated at the scene for a minor graze wound and released to her parents. The man was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive his injuries, according to police, who were seeking suspects in both shootings Tuesday.
