YAKIMA, Wash. -- A 24-year-old man was shot in the left shoulder early this morning in the 300 block of South Sixth Street, police say.

Officers went to the area about 12:30 a.m. to check on a report of gunfire. They found a number of bullet casings on the ground, but no victim, according to a news release from the Yakima Police Department.

But a gunshot victim arrived soon after at Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center. Police said he told them he’d been shot at the Sixth Street scene but was otherwise uncooperative. It was not clear whether the incident was gang-related.

The injury was not life-threatening, authorities said.

Tips about the case may be reported to detectives at 509-575-6200.

If he doesnt want to give any more info, they should be able to point him right back to the door!!! Why should a gang member be provided medical services when he is just going to go out and do it again? You know he doesnt have insurance and has no plans on paying the bill!!!! and of course it was grang related duhhhh we are in yakima... right?

Too bad the hospital does not have the option of being "uncooperative"
