Henderson police are investigating a shooting that happened early Saturday morning on the 1100 block of Maple Street.

At approximately 1:40 a.m., officers responded to the scene and found 40-year-old Romids A. Miles with a gunshot wound.

They also found 38-year-old Sylvester Deon Burton with a gunshot wound to his leg.
