Shortly after 1pm Monday firefighters received a call of a porch fire on Lewis Street. Police also received a call of a shooting on Iranistan Avenue near State Street. It didn’t take long for them to realize the two calls were connected. Apparently tenants on the third floor on Lewis Street along with a person who frequents the apartment have been arguing. The fire was set on the porch and then a pulling of a knife and subsequent shooting on Iranistan Ave. Police searched the side and backyard on Lewis Street for the firearm. Police have two suspects in custody and continue their investigation.
