Six people were hospitalized overnight after a shooting near Raleigh’s Methodist North Hospital.

According to Memphis police, the incident started around midnight at the BP service station on Raleigh LaGrange and Sycamore View.

The three teenagers then proceeded to the Tanglewood Apartments, at which a 14-year-old and a 25-year-old got into the car and tried to drive them to Methodist North.

As they approached the hospital, unknown suspects in a dark-colored vehicle started firing at the Infiniti near New Covington Pike and Austin Peay shortly before 1 a.m. The five victims then fled to the hospital and left the car.

Four of the victims were then taken to Regional One Hospital, and two juveniles were taken to Le Bonheur.
