Montgomery police are investigating a shooting that left an adult male with a life‑threatening gunshot wound on Monday, October 26. Officers arrived at the scene at approximately 7:24 p.m. after being dispatched to a local hospital where the victim had been taken.
When officers reached the hospital, they made contact with the injured man, who was described as an adult male. He sustained a gunshot wound that officials said was life‑threatening.
