At least four people were shot Saturday night in Wilmington as violent demonstrators raged, damaging portions of the city's downtown.
The shootings took place in just over an hour and three of the victims were shot in West Center City, blocks from where the protests were taking place.
Investigators did not believe Sunday afternoon that the shootings were related to the violent protests, a police spokesman told Delaware Online/The News Journal.
In the first shooting, police said a 46-year-old man was injured by gunfire about 9:50 p.m. in the 400 block of W. 31st St. Investigators found the man in a hospital, where police said he was reported to be stable.

There, police said, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were shot while in the 600 block of W. Seventh St. Other than police reporting the victims to be stable, no other details were provided.

That incident took place about 11:05 p.m. in the 600 block of W. Fifth St.
