  Early this morning around 3:00 a.m., the Evansville Police Department was called to the Embassy Apartments, in the 1300 block of Hatfield Dr., for a shots fired run. Before officers could arrive, dispatch advised that a resident in the apartment complex stated that someone had been shot in the back/neck area.

   Officers arrived and located a small pool of blood and a shell casing at the bottom of the stairs to one of the apartment buildings. There was a trail of blood leading up the stairs and down toward an apartment where the victim was located with a gunshot wound to his back/neck area.

   The victim was not able to provide much information but stated that he came over to the apartment and as he went to walk up the stairs, he was shot in the back. He has no idea who did this and did not have a description other than three males. An ambulance responded and transported the victim to the hospital. 

   The victim is expected to survive his injuries. Anyone who might have knowledge of this incident is asked to contact the Evansville Police Department’s Detective Office at 812-436-7979, or the WeTip Line at 1-800-78-Crime.
