They say the man told them he was standing in the driveway of a home in the 4200 block of Chestnut Hill Drive, helping a friend clean a food trailer, when someone in an SUV fired the shots.

The victim was taken to a hospital by ambulance with what officers described as a non-life-threatening wound.
