Muncie police are investigating after an unnamed male was shot at the apartments at 1701 N. Rosewood Ave Saturday evening.
Police confirmed that the individual was taken to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, but it is unknown if the injuries are life-threatening.
Neighbors reported hearing gunshots around 5:30 p.m.
Julius Kovacs, a sophomore telecommunications major, lives a few houses away from the scene and said he could hear a shot from his home.
“I was taking out the trash and walking back inside my apartment I heard a distant thud," Kovacs said. "There could have been more [shots], but I know I heard at least one. I just locked my door and got my gun out of its lock box.”
