MADISON (WKOW) -- Police are investigating after a man was shot on Madison's east side Thursday night.
According to a Madison Police Department (MPD) post on Facebook, the shooting happened around 6:30 p.m. along the 4300 block of Nakoosa Trail, which is near Highways 51 and 30.
Officials say a man who was on an apartment balcony was shot multiple times. Investigators say the shots came from a parking lot at the back of the building.
MPD spokesperson Stephanie Fryer says the victim was alert when he was taken to the hospital. His injuries are serious, but not life threatening.
Several rounds went into an apartment. Three adults and a baby were inside at the time, but none of them were hurt.
"This just shows the dangers of gun violence in our community, that it doesn't have a place in our community. Because had those adults or had that baby been in the line of fire of one of those bullets, who knows what could have happened," Fryer told 27 News.
Police say the shooting appears to be targeted. They say suspect and victim know each other.
