BOISE, Idaho — Police are investigating after one man was shot near downtown Boise Thursday evening.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting at 7:50 p.m. on Bannock Street between 17th and 18th streets.
When they arrived, they found the man with a gunshot wound. Officers provided immediate first aid at the scene, and the man was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and later released.
Detectives say they learned there was an "altercation" between two men who did not know one another just before the shooting happened. The other man involved was still at the scene when officers arrived; detectives interviewed him, but did not make an arrest, according to the department.
Boise Police will send their investigation, once complete, to the prosecutor's office. The prosecutor will then decide whether any criminal charges should be filed in the case.
Police have not released the name of either man, or said what spurred the fight between them. There is not believed to be any threat to the public, officials say.
