Syracuse, N.Y. Two women were taken to Upstate University Hospital Thursday after they were both shot on the citys South Side near Kirk Park, police said.

The shooting happened at about 12:35 p.m. at 402 West Beard Avenue, Syracuse police spokesman Sgt. Thomas Blake said Thursday.

A 44-year-old woman was shot in the leg and a 51-year-old woman was shot in the lower extremity area, Blake said.

Both women were taken to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Blake said.
