Investigators said the incident started when one of the victims approached two men in an alley in Rundle.

The two unknown men then demanded the victim hand over the keys to his truck and trailer, threatening him with a shotgun. When he refused, he was shot.

The second victim fought with the two suspects before he was also shot.

The two suspects fled the area, and the victims took themselves to the hospital, where they were treated. Investigators believe the shooting was targeted.

After speaking with witnesses, police are still working to determine what led to the shooting, and have determined the suspects left the scene in two vehicles — a red Dodge Journey and a light-grey Jeep Cherokee.
