PORTLAND, Maine — The Portland Police Department says they are investigating a non-fatal shooting on Friday. The shooting happened at the Huntington North Apartment at 326 Auburn St.
Police responded to the scene at 12:17 p.m. Friday afternoon after receiving reports of gunshots.
Witnesses described seeing a group of young males in the parking lot arguing prior to hearing the gunshot and seeing a subject fall to the ground.
Witnesses described the suspect as a black male in his teens and he was wearing a white T-shirt.
People from the group, including the victim of the shooting, left on foot and in cars before police arrived on the scene.
The victim, 22-years-old from Portland, was located at the Maine Medical Center where he is still being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
