Anchorage police are piecing together reports of a shooting that took place Wednesday evening. One person showed up at a local hospital with a gunshot wound, and at least one other witness has been located.
Police were first notified of the shooting at 6:41 p.m. Police found roughly one dozen shell casings on the street in the area of N. Bliss Street and Parsons Ave.
Police spoke with a male juvenile who was mostly uncooperative but did tell police “several shots were fired from a vehicle at him and his friend while they were walking down the street,” a statement from police said. Police could not locate the juvenile’s friend and have not identified him.
While initial reports of a shooting victim were not immediately confirmed, a victim did eventually show up at a hospital, according to police spokeswoman Renee Oistad. She said they had non-life threatening wounds.
Police are continuing to investigate, and say the suspect vehicle involved is described as a “maroon and gray older model SUV.”
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call police at 786-8900.
