NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – A man was injured during a Thursday afternoon shooting in North Charleston.

Officers with the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) responded to an apartment complex off Morris Baker Boulevard after receiving a call about a fight involving a weapon.

A man was found with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at the scene.

An investigation into the shooting revealed the victim was approached by two men who were armed with a pistol. The men fought the victim and then shot him, according to police.
