Metro Police are investigating the shooting of a Waldburg Street resident in a reported robbery attempt.
Jeremy Lueken was transported to Memorial University Medical Center with a non-life threatening injury after the shooting on the 500 block of East Waldburg just after midnight.
Lueken and others were on the back porch of the house when three black men in dark clothing with scarves covering their faces men approached. Two of them had guns and ordered the men on the porch to lay down. When Lueken did not, he was struck by a bullet. The robbers then fled.
Police detectives are investigating.
• Police are investigating events leading up to the shooting of a 23-year-old man by a police officer this morning.
Timothy Maurice Williams has been hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries after the 3 a.m. shooting at West 44th and Barnard streets.
Officers "were saturating the area in response to a report of multiple gunshots when three males were seen running on West 44th Street and climbing a fence into a yard of a house," a report indicates. At the same time the resident of the house was calling 911 and flagging down an officer to report someone was breaking into her house.
The officer found the men in the yard and ordered them to stop. While two of the men climbed over a fence in an attempt to escape, the third, Williams, "began charging at the officer, prompting him to fire," police say.
Williams was transported to Memorial University Medical Center and has been admitted. The two other men were questioned. SCMPD continues to investigate the original gunshots, the pursuit through the fenced yard and the shooting.
