WINCHESTER – Officers with the Winchester Police Department were busy Saturday evening, following a shooting incident in the 300 block of National Avenue.
According to a Sunday press release from Crime Prevention Specialist Jennifer Hall, a call came in on Feb. 18 at approximately 9:42 p.m., for a report of shots fired.
Responding officers arrived on scene to find a number of people in the area. Upon securing the crime scene and speaking with witnesses, the statement said, officers determined that a 26-year-old man had suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
The victim was treated at the scene by Winchester Fire and Rescue personnel, but declined transportation to the hospital, according to Hall.
