A man is dead, and another is fighting for his life in two separate shootings within minutes of each other in the city early this morning.

The most recent one happened around 3:15 in Olney. Police tell NBC10 this victim was shot five or six times at the intersection of East Somerville and Rising Sun Avenues. He died later in the hospital.

Soon before that, in the Northeast, the other man was found shot in the stomach on Roosevelt Boulevard near Summerdale Avenue. Police say this may have started as a robbery.

No arrests have been made in either shooting.
