Anchorage police temporarily closed a portion of Norene Street to investigate a shooting that occurred earlier this afternoon.
Just after 2 p.m., the Anchorage Police Department received a call from a male who said he had been shot. A woman at the scene, in the area of the 1500 block of Norene Street, identified herself as the victim’s wife. She said he was on his way to meet her at “CITC” when it happened.
“He was on the phone with me, that person was yelling at him, he yelled,” she said, adding that after her husband had been injured, she told him to call APD.
Police responded to the scene and located a male with a gunshot wound to his lower body, according to a statement from APD. The man was transported to a local hospital with what appeared to be a non-life-threatening wound.
“At this time, police are investigating the shooting to determine whether any criminal activity was associated with the incident,” APD says.
At the scene, officers could also be seen detaining a man, placing him into the back of a police vehicle.
This is a developing story.
