PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Police in Providence are investigating two separate shootings in the city.              

Lt. Roger Aspinall says the first reports of shots fired came in around 3:45 p.m. Sunday. A 23-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds arrived at Rhode Island Hospital at around the same time. He’s expected to survive.              

Police say officers heard gunshots coming from a housing complex less than an hour later. Police saw a car speeding from the scene.              

Police say officers pursued the car until it exited the highway and lost control.

They say two suspects ran from the car; one suspect was apprehended by police and the other remained at large as of Sunday night.              

Both shootings are under investigation.
