A man was shot in his Decatur living room and critically injured by a bullet fired from outside his apartment late Friday.
According to Decatur police Sgt. John Bender, an unknown shooter fired several shots into the victim’s apartment in the 1500 block of Commerce Drive just before 11 p.m.
It was not clear whether the gunman was targeting the victim, who has yet to be identified by police, or whether the apartment was struck coincidentally.
The man was still sitting in his living room when police responded. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, according to Bender.
Police did not announce any arrests in the case.
