A Selma man was shot Friday night while he was sitting on his front porch in the dark.

Lt. Tory Neely with the Selma Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division said the shooting happened late Friday night on the 2100 block of Minter Avenue.

“Somebody shot out of the darkness,” Neely said. “He was sitting on the porch, and he got struck.”

The victim, who was shot in the leg, is in his 40s. According to an incident report, the call came in around 11:56 p.m.

“He was taken to DCH [Regional Medical Center] in Tuscaloosa,” Neely said, adding he was unsure of the victim’s medical status Monday afternoon. “It was a pretty nasty wound.”

Neely said the shots came from somewhere down the street. Witnesses were unclear where the shots were fired from because it was so dark.

“Somebody was down the street shooting,” Neely said.

No arrest has been made in the case, and no suspects have been identified. Neely said the incident is still under investigation.
