Syracuse, N.Y. — A 33-year-old man was shot in the leg in the Near Westside area of Syracuse just before midnight Saturday, police said.
Officers responded to Upstate University Hospital where the man had been dropped off by someone in a car, according to the Onondaga County 911 Center.
When officers arrived, at 11:45 p.m., they found the man with a gunshot to the leg, said Lt. Matthew Malinowski.
They determined the location of the shooting was near the intersection of Fitch and Dudley streets, Malinowski said. An officer reviewing camera footage told dispatchers there was a lot of blood in the parking lot of a store in that area, according to dispatches.
At least 19 casings were found in the area, Malinowski said.
The man is expected to survive, he said.
