Police surround north Fresno apartment complex after man gets shot

Police surrounded a north Fresno apartment complex Friday afternoon after a shooting wounded one person.

The shooting happened just after 1 p.m. and sent residents scrambling for cover at the Sierra Meadows Apartments near Blackstone and Sierra avenues, Officers Felipe Uribe said.

Officers found the shooting victim just outside the complex. The victim received non-life threatening wounds but was not cooperative with investigators, Uribe said.

Officers received reports that the shooting possibly occurred at an apartment unit on the south side of the complex. Officers immediately created a perimeter around the unit and taped off the area as they made announcements for anyone to come out.

Uribe later confirmed that no one was inside the unit at the time.
