A woman called for help from a short distance away, and Schumann says she told police she had been shot but had managed to drive away from the scene before alerting officers.

Schumann says she remains in hospital in serious condition.

Police say neither shooting appears random and no further information is expected until the evidence-gathering phase concludes.
