Ten minutes after that, just before 10 p.m., officers were called to an area near 28th Street and North Sherman Drive, where a man was shot multiple times inside a duplex. A witness told police they heard gunshots and squealing tires. That man was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, according to IMPD Capt. Karen Arnett.
