Garden City — A 75-year-old man was arrested Monday, accused of shooting two people in a home, officials said.

Officers were called to a home on Belton near Cherry Hill Road at about 11 a.m. Monday to respond to a report of gunshots, according to authorities. 

They found two people with gunshot wounds inside the home, police said. They took them to a hospital to be treated.
