At around 8:41 p.m. a shooting occurred on North 5th Street. A 31-year-old man is in Columbia Memorial undergoing emergency surgery. Numerous police agencies are in the city now, working in concert to advance our investigation. Preliminary indications are that this is, once again, a situation where the victim was targeted and not a random incident. Thank you for your patience and understand that every effort will be made, every action will be taken, to put an end to this mindless violence. Chief
