SEATTLE (AP) - Two men were wounded by shots fired into the back of a house early Wednesday in south Seattle.

Police say a 19-year-old was grazed by a bullet and a 20-year-old was hit in a leg. The 20-year-old victim hid in the basement of the house for more than an hour before he was found because he feared he would be arrested on a warrant.

Both men were treated at a hospital.

The shots were fired about 2:10 a.m. by someone who fled.

Police gang unit detectives are investigating.
