Akron Police are investigating the shooting of two men on Monday afternoon in Firestone Park.

Officers dispatched to a location on Barbara Avenue found the victims -- ages 22 and 25.

Both were taken from the scene to a local hospital with injuries that have been described as non-life-threatening.

Police say the shooting stemmed from an argument between two women on social media who had agreed to meet for a fight.

The men were hit by gunfire at the scene of that fight.
