Multiple Shots Fired At Cleveland 21-Year-Old

CLEVELAND, OH — A 21-year-old Cleveland man was shot in the left hand and wrist, multiple times, while standing near E. 74th Street and Superior. A group of unknown men approached the 21-year-old and then began shooting at him. It's unclear why they attacked him, according to police records.

On Saturday night, police were called to the Cleveland Clinic after a man was dropped off with multiple gunshot wounds. Police had already received reports of multiple shots being fired on the city's east side.

Officers arrived and found two men in the lobby who were allegedly there in connection with the man who had been shot. Cleveland Clinic Police said the men were refusing to cooperate or answer questions. The men continued to stymie inquiries from Cleveland Police and so were put into handcuffs and detained.

The 21-year-old victim had been transported to University Hospitals, so Cleveland Police then rushed over to that hospital. That's where the 21-year-old explained what happened.

He had been standing at the intersection of E. 74th and Superior when a group of men he didn't know began shooting at him. He managed to escape but not without being shot multiple times in his left wrist and hand.

Police are still investigating the incident.
