Police told The Journal News that a person came to Mount Vernon Hospital hours later with bullet holes to the left shoulder and arm.

Later that day, the second vehicle police believed to be involved in the shooting was spotted by police. The driver was injured after he attempted to run away from police on foot, according to News 12 Westchester.

Injuries to both involved are non life-threatening.

The shooting is still under investigation and police believe there could still be another suspect on the loose.
