A Manhattan man sustained life-threatening injuries after another man shot him in apparent self-defense in the parking lot of the Douglass Center Wednesday evening.
Riley County Police Department spokeswoman Ashley Tokoi said in a written release officers responded to the report of shots fired in the 900 block of Yuma Street around 7:57 p.m. When they arrived, they found a 23-year-old man shot in the parking lot.
Tokoi said RCPD’s early investigation points to the shooter being a 26-year-old man who acted in self-defense. Police think there is little to no relationship between the two men, and the shooting appears to be an isolated incident that doesn’t pose a threat to public safety.
