Man, 29, shot in Olney

POSTED: Monday, June 18, 2012, 9:26 PM

A 29-year-old man was hospitalized Monday night after being shot in his buttocks on 7th Street near Nedro Avenue in Olney, police said.

Shots were fired around 8:20 p.m. and police said the shooter may have been riding in a dark green Nissan Maxima with tinted windows, police said.

The man was taken by private vehicle to the Albert Einstein Medical Center and was in surgery around 9 p.m., police said.

Police were canvassing the neighborhood looking for witnesses Monday night. Four shell casings were found on the scene.

The shooting may have stemmed from a series of earlier arguments in the area that required a police response, cops said.
