Officers found a passenger car with "fresh bullet holes as well as .22 caliber shell casings nearby," Hann wrote.

At that point, police were notified the shooting victim, a male, was at the hospital, he added.

As of late Wednesday afternoon, no arrests had been made. Police department investigators were interviewing the victim, according to Hann.
