At least eight people were injured in two separate quadruple shootings that were reported in West Baltimore Monday evening, . 

The first shooting, around 7 p.m. in the Carrollton Ridge neighborhood, left two adults and two 14-year-olds injured, police said. 

The  was reported around 9:40 p.m. in the 2500 block of Edmondson Avenue, about a mile from the scene of the first shooting. 

Police said they responded to the scene after a ShotSpotter Alert. Once on the scene, they found four men with gunshot wounds, ranging in age from 19 to 66. 

Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said the 19-year-old is in critical condition, while the other three men seem to have non-life-threatening injuries. 

On Monday night, Worley said it was too soon to tell if the incidents were related. However, a preliminary investigation did not reveal any connections between the two incidents. 

"This is the second of two unfortunate, cowardly incidents when folks took to using weapons that they should not have to resolve whatever conflicts they had," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said. 

Scott joined Worley in calling for the community's help to identify the suspects in the shootings. 

"Treat it as if it was your son, treat it as if it was someone related to you that was the victim of this incident or the incident earlier today," he said.
