According to a press release, a report of a walk-in shooting victim sent officers to a local hospital around 6 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found a 34-year-old man with a gunshot wound.

Although a preliminary investigation suggested the victim was shot by an unidentified suspect, police later said the shooting was self-inflicted. The incident reportedly took place on the 1500 block of Ramsey Street.
