WATERLOO - Two more people have been injured in a string of shootings from over the past two days.

The two recent victims join two others who were shot last week. Police have not said whether the shootings are related.

The latest shooting happened at about 1:12 a.m. today in the 200 block of Frances Drive when someone opened fire at a group of people outside, Waterloo Police Capt. John Beckman said.

One of the bullets struck Anthony Ondre Burt, 19, of 209 W. Fifth St. Acquaintances drive him to Covenant Medical Center for treatment.

Details weren't available, but police said it appeared Burt was shot in a leg.

A bullet also made a hole in a vehicle parked in the area, Beckman said.

The shooting came less than a day after someone shot up Burt's 1979 Chevrolet Caprice, according to police records.

Burt's car had been parked in the driveway of a relative's home at 224 Wellington St. when family members heard gunshots at about 12:30 p.m.

They looked and discovered the Caprice had bullet holes in the rear passenger window, driver's-side door and back tire. A bullet was also found in a tree.

No injuries were reported.

The other recent shooting happened at about 12:35 a.m. Sunday when Trayvon Cherry, 20, of 310 Wellington St., was shot in the leg in the area of Reed and West Parker streets, according to the police report.

He was taken to Allen Hospital by private vehicle, and his injuries aren't considered life threatening, police said.

Further details of that incident weren't available.

No arrests in the attacks have been made.

The shootings come just a day after police arrested Justin Ray O'Connor, 23, for going armed and terrorism in an incident of gunfire where 44-year-old Scott Hansen was shot in the shoulder in the 400 block of Columbia Street Friday night.

Earlier in the week, police said Angello Ross, 20, was shot by a person in a vehicle in the area of West 11th and Washington streets Tuesday. Like the others, he was shot in the leg, and his injuries weren't considered life threatening.
