Update on report of a shooting victim near 40th Avenue E. & McCulloch St.
At 10:52pm on Saturday January 22nd, 2011 Duluth Police Officers responded to an address near 40th Avenue E. & McCulloch St. in reference to a male who was on the caller’s porch saying that he had just been shot in the stomach.
The first officer on the scene confirmed that a male Duluth resident, 34 years old had a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. The male told officers that he was shot trying to intervene in a domestic assault that had occurred nearby inside of a vehicle between people he did not know.
Our investigation has found inconsistencies with evidence at the scene and what the victim reported. We are currently not looking for any suspects, but the case does remain under investigation. The Duluth Police Department wants to assure the public that they are not at risk.
