The victim was taken to an area hospital to receive medical attention for gunshot wound-related injuries. 

According to the report, a driver of a silver SUV  flagged down THPD officers  near  South 25th and Hulman Streets seeking medical assistance for the gunshot victim, a passenger in the vehicle. Sgt. Michael Ellerman explained that officers directed them to the nearby Terre Haute Fire Department  station at South 26th and Hulman Streets and called for an ambulance.

While officers were at the scene of the complex, located in the  ​ 2500 block of south 25th Street, they received information regarding possible suspects.
