Kalispell Police are investigating a Monday morning shooting in the city’s southwest side that left one injured.
Officers initially headed to the neighborhood for an assault with a weapon call, officials said in a press release issued April 10. The individual behind the report later said a gun went off during the incident, according to authorities.
Arriving officers located an individual suffering from a gunshot wound after securing the scene, officials said.
Authorities urged anyone with information about the shooting to contact Capt. Ryan Bartholomew at 758-7793.
There is no known ongoing risk to the public, officials said.
