Milton police responded to 36 Eliot Street, an apartment building, at approximately 3:16 a.m.. They were met at the front door by another resident of the building, who escorted them to an upper floor where Scott was found in the presence of the adult male suffering from obvious gunshot wounds, but still conscious and communicative with officers.

The victim was transported to an area hospital and is expected to survive.
