A Bartlesville man received a gunshot wound to his leg in a shooting incident and the suspect is now in custody.

 

According to Bartlesville Police Captain Jay Hastings, early Saturday morning May 15, Bartlesville Police received a call of possible gunshots in the area of North Lupa Street. 

 

Officers arrived and began checking the area when they found a victim at a residence in the 800 block of NW Lupa who had been shot in the leg. The victim was transported to the local hospital with non life threatening injuries.
