The shooting happened in the 1100 block of 22nd Street.  When officers arrived, several people were at the residence and told officers that one person was shot and left to go to the hospital.

Sometime later, off-duty officers working at the night club The Alley encountered a 23-year-old man who was suffering from gunshot wounds to the thigh and foot who had driven himself to the club.

He was then taken to the hospital.
