One man was killed and another was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after gunfire erupted Saturday night in westside Savannah, police said.
Savannah-Chatham police received a call about 8:15 p.m. about multiple shots being fired in the 900 block of West 38th Street, said metro police spokeswoman Judy Pal. The caller said a man was lying in the street. Reports indicated several men in two vehicles had been shooting at each other.
Pal said shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday that the identities and ages of the victims were being withheld pending further investigation by police.
When officers arrived at the scene of the shootout, Pal said, they found one man suffering from gunshot wounds to the neck. Then, a short distance away, they found a second man who also was shot - he was sitting in one of the cars involved in the gunfire exchange.
The first man was taken to Memorial University Medical Center. His medical condition was not known at press time, but Pal confirmed his wounds were life-threatening.
The man in the car died at the scene, Pal said.
The second vehicle involved in the shootout eluded police and was described by witnesses as a gold or a silver SUV with tinted windows, Pal said, adding that the vehicle likely would have bullet holes in it.
Forensics and violent-crimes detectives remained at the shooting site late into the night, Pal said.
