One person is in critical condition after he was shot early Wednesday morning in South Anchorage, according to the Anchorage Police Department (APD).
In a release, police wrote that just after 12 a.m. they responded to the 10200 block of Jamestown Drive. One caller told police someone had been shot, and other callers reported multiple shots fired.
Emergency responders arrived and found a male on the ground with gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.
APD’s Robbery and Assault Unit is investigating. It was immediately unclear what circumstances lead to the incident.
APD spokesperson Jennifer Castro said the shooter has been identified and interviewed, but shortly before 9 a.m. no charges had been filled. According to Castro, investigators are still interviewing witnesses and investigating.
Police also responded to reports of two other shootings Tuesday night; one in East Anchorage and another in West Anchorage.
At 9:55 p.m. a caller reported two gunshots in the area of Oregon Drive, off of Spenard, while another person called about the same incident to report four gunshots, Castro said. Officers patrolled the area and found evidence of a shooting, but did hear by others in the area that it was fireworks instead.
Then at 11:30 p.m. APD received reports of gunshots near the 4100 block of Debarr Road. Castro said again officers patrolled the area, but didn’t find any further evidence — victims or property damage — of a shooting.
