MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Gun violence around the city unfortunately didn’t end on Mother’s Day this year.

Two men are in the hospital after two separate shootings.

Memphis Police said a man was shot in South Memphis and moments later, another man was shot in Orange Mound.

“I want to enjoy my city,” a resident said. “And I can’t because I’m afraid.”

Investigators said the first shooting unfolded on Sunday afternoon in the 600 block of E E.H. Crump Boulevard.

The victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and a man was detained by Memphis Police.

An hour later, another man was shot just 10 minutes away in Orange Mound, in the 1200 block of Ethel Street.

The area has had its share of gun violence over the past few weeks and months.

The victim in the Orange Mound shooting has critical injuries.

So far, there’s no word from the Memphis Police about a suspect.

“We’re sick and tired, just like the community is, of crime in our community,” said SCSO Chief Deputy Anthony Buckner. “And so, it takes all of us to bring crime down.”

For weeks now, law enforcement and federal officials have announced their plans to reduce Memphis crime.

An increased police presence in high-crime areas is just one of the ways they plan to achieve that goal.

However, some community members said they’d like to see more action being taken.

“I am 61 years old, and I have been in Memphis for 61 years and I think, based on what I see, and I’m a news person, they don’t have control over the city,” a resident said. “It’s totally out of control.”

As law enforcement works to reduce crime, they’re urging people in the community to choose a different path.

“Find another way to make a living, because you’re not going to last in Shelby County,” said SCSO Assistant Chief Deputy Derek Mills. “We are not going to quit. We run seven days a week, 24/7 and we’re not going to stop. We want you to stop.”
