TRENTON — The city man shot in the leg inside a Wilbur section home during Thursday’s snowstorm told police he was sleeping in his bed when a man appeared and shot him.
The 21-year-old victim was hit once in the left upper thigh. He is expected to survive his injuries. Police said the man was in the second-floor bedroom of the home on the 100 block of South Olden Avenue.
“He said he was sleeping and he heard that shot,” said Lt. Mark Kieffer, a police spokesman. “That’s all he knows.”
The victim said he did not get a look at the shooter, and no description was available for the suspect. A man and a woman were with the victim inside the home when police arrived shortly after 1:20 p.m. Kieffer did not say whether the two were believed to be involved in the shooting.
Detectives are investigating.
Anyone with information on the case should call police at (609) 989-4170, or the Confidential Tip Line at (609) 989-3663.
