Police are searching for a man who shot another man at a Diamond Shamrock gas station Thursday afternoon.
The victim, who was not identified by police, was taken to a hospital by Tucson Fire Department medics with “non-life-threatening injuries,” said Officer Linda Galindo, a Tucson police spokeswoman.
She did not have a description of either man.
She said the suspect fled the scene at Valencia Road and Campbell Avenue in a white Ford Mustang.
The confrontation began as a “verbal altercation that escalated into a shooting,” Galindo said.
No one else was hurt, she said.
Police got a 911 call from the gas station at 4:42 p.m. Galindo said. The victim was taken from the scene at about 5:25 p.m.
A Raytheon worker told the Citizen she was at the Diamond Shamrock getting gas when she saw a gunman fire multiple shots and flee.
The woman, whom the Citizen is not naming because she was a witness to the shooting, said the confrontation seemed to be between the two men.
Police were investigating Thursday evening and Galindo said no more details were available.
