SOUTH BEND — In the span of about an hour early Saturday, South Bend Police found themselves investigating two shootings and a home invasion.

Details are few in all three cases, though no injuries appear to be life-threatening, according to a 911 dispatch supervisor.

  • Just before 1 a.m., a home invasion was reported in the 2000 block of South Chapin Street. Two men, armed with guns, reportedly entered the home and a person in the home told police one of the men struck him in the face with a gun.

  • At 1:13 a.m., police were called to the Residence Inn, 716 N. Niles St., on a report a person had been shot. The victim apparently left the hotel and went to a house in the 700 block of North Huey Street. A call to 911 from that address requested an ambulance because a man was there, bleeding heavily from his face.

  • Just before 2 a.m., a man called police to a house in the 1600 block of South Kendall Street, saying he’d been shot in the leg by another man. The suspect was last seen riding a bicycle south on Kendall Street.
