Witnesses called the police, but the shooter had left the scene before they arrived.

The victim was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center by EMS, and his injuries are not life-threatening, police say.

Witnesses say they had no description of the suspect and only saw a silhouette of him.

Officers said they are unsure if the shooting was targeted.

Once the suspect is caught, police say he will be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
