 Around 2:00 a.m. this morning officers were dispatched to the 900-block of W. Maryland St. for shots fired. A witness called and stated they heard loud yelling and then heard at least one gunshot. A Vanderburgh County Deputy was in the area and heard a male yelling for help. The victim was located with a gunshot wound to his leg. A tourniquet was applied prior to the ambulance’s arrival. The victim stated there were three males that attacked him and fled the scene. An EPD K-9 attempted to track the suspects, but was unable to locate them. The victim was taken to the hospital with what appears to be non-life-threatening injuries.Â
Officers spoke to a witness who stated prior to hearing gunshots he observed three males assaulting a separate person; that person was able to run away from the offenders and was never located by officers.Â
