Incident number: FP22-21832

Prepared By: Lt. Edward Hartwick

Details: 

The Fitchburg Police Department is investigating a shooting from the weekend that left a man with non-life-threatening injuries.

Around 1:40 p.m. Sunday, the Dane County Public Safety Communications Center received a 911 call from a man reporting he had been shot in the City of Fitchburg. The man was able to drive himself to a local hospital, where he received treatment for his non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Investigating officers determined the shooting occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 2400 block of High Ridge Trail. Rounds fired in the incident also struck an unoccupied vehicle in the lot.

Investigators have determined this is not a random shooting. The investigation remains open and active. No additional information is available for release at this time.
