Anchorage police are investigating an early morning shooting near Dimond Blvd. and Arctic Blvd. that left one person hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
Dispatchers received word of a disturbance at a business near W. 64th St. and C St. just before 3 a.m. Friday morning, according to a release from the Anchorage Police Department.
Officers were informed that one person involved in the scuffle was carrying a handgun. The two groups arguing outside the establishment then left the scene in separate vehicles, the release states.
Shortly after, officers were sent to the area of W. Dimond Blvd. and King St. after receiving multiple reports of gunshots. Upon arriving, they found empty shell casings and broken glass in the area of Dimond Blvd. and Arctic Blvd.
