PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) — A 30-year-old man from Pierre was airlifted to a Sioux Falls hospital after being shot during an incident last night.
Information from the Pierre Police Department says the Central South Dakota Communications dispatch center received a 911 call that a shooting had occurred in the 400 block of West Prospect Avenue. The caller advised a man had been shot and was being transported to Avera St. Mary’s Hospital by private vehicle. The victim received severe, life-threatening injuries and was later flown to Sioux Falls for further treatment.
The preliminary investigation suggests the male victim was outside the residence when the shooting occurred and the incident does not appear to be a random act of violence.
The investigation is ongoing. No arrests have been made. Names and a connection between the shooter and victim have not yet been released.
