Two people were wounded late Friday night in a shooting at a Vancouver park, according to emergency radio traffic.

Vancouver police were called to Marine Park, 4501 S.E. Columbia Way, at 10:50 p.m. to a report that a male subject had been shot in the leg.

A short time later, police learned that a female with a gunshot wound had been taken to an  urgent care clinic on Main Street in Vancouver. She had also been shot in the leg.

The name and ages of the two victims were not available. They were transported to hospitals.

The suspects in the shooting were described as two men in their 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing dark clothing, according to radio traffic. They were reportedly both armed with semi-automatic rifles similar to an AR-15 and driving a white or beige SUV.

As of 11:45 p.m., the two remained at large.
