LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Grand Island Police Department says a 22-year-old man was shot multiple times on Sunday.

This happened near South Greenwich Street and West Phoenix Avenue a little after 1:30 a.m.

Officers were called to the area after reported gunshots and found the victim with multiple wounds.

They say vehicles that were not involved in the attack had also been shot.

He was taken into custody on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony.

The victim required surgery, but authorities have not revealed his name or what condition he’s in.
