Police say the gunfire was an isolated incident inside the 17th Street Lofts.

Overview

  • A 26-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were shot in the arms, and investigators said both are expected to survive.
  • Detectives said the shooting appears to have happened inside a single apartment, and they described the case as isolated with no suspect information yet.
