Harrisburg City Police are investigating a drive by shooting that happened early Sunday morning.
Officers were dispatched to the area of the 1600 block of Regina Street for a report of a shooting. Officers didn't find anyone in the area when they arrived to investigate.
About 20 minutes later, police were called to Harrisburg Hospital for a patient in the emergency room with gun shot wounds. The 19-year-old victim had gun shot wounds to each thigh, and were not life threatening.
The man told police he and a few other people were walking on Regina Street when a silver colored car drove up to them and someone fired a handgun several times. The man said he ran around the block to Carnation Street and the car appeared again and a person inside started firing more shots at him.
He was struck in the legs and a passing motorist stopped and took him to the emergency room.
The investigation continues and anyone having any information on this is asked to contact Lt. Robert Fegan at 717-255-3114 or email rfegan@cityofhbg.com on behalf of the Detective Division.
Anyone may also call the Dauphin County police dispatch at 717-558-6900 and ask for a City detective.
