Police said that two men, who are thought to be roommates, suffered non-life-threatening injuries when they shot each other Sunday morning. 

Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough said that a shooting in the 3000 block of Albain Road in Monroe Township left one man in custody, but both the victim and suspect suffered gunshot wounds. 

The 52-year-old man who was arrested allegedly shot his roommate, and then fled the area. He was arrested a short while later, and taken to an area hospital, where he was treated for his own gunshot wound and released to police custody.
