Eight people were hurt in three separate shootings in Boston over a span of 24 hours, according to authorities.

The latest shooting happened after midnight Monday on Jette Court in Brighton. Three men were taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Several hours earlier, two people were shot in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood, Boston Police said.

Investigators found multiple shell casings on the ground at the scene of the double shooting on Elizabeth Street just before 10 p.m. Sunday. The victims were taken to local hospitals with apparent gunshot wounds, but both are expected to survive.

Authorities appeared focused on a car parked near the casings. It's unclear how or if the car was involved in any way.

The string of shootings started after midnight Sunday morning, when three people were shot near Hardwood Street in Dorchester. One man walked to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. Two juveniles were taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries by ambulance.

No arrests have been made in any of these incidents, which remain under investigation.
