LANCASTER \u2013 Gang detectives are investigating after a man was wounded during an apparent drive-by shooting in Lancaster Monday night (June 24).<\/p>\n

The incident was reported around 8:26 p.m. in the 44400 Block of 3rd Street East, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The victim, who was identified only as a man in his 20s, was shot in the leg, but his wound was not considered life-threatening, according to Lt. Wainie\u00a0of the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station.<\/p>\n

The victim, along with a man in his 30s and a woman in her 50s, were walking down the street when a vehicle pulled up alongside them and someone in the vehicle open fired, Wainie\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still figuring it out, but it appears to be a drive by,\u201d Wainie\u00a0said, adding that he did not have any further information on the incident.<\/p>\n

The victim told deputies that someone in the vehicle asked him where he was from, and when he denied having any gang affiliations, a gunman in the vehicle began shooting, according to deputies at the scene.<\/p>\n

The victim was transported to the hospital and was in stable condition Monday night. A description of the vehicle used in the shooting was not immediately available Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The shooting comes one day after a gun-related double murder in Lancaster. Early Sunday morning, Lancaster residents Nicky DeWayne Packard<\/strong>, 33, and Michael Sewell Jr.<\/strong>, 22, were gunned down in the 44800 Block of Hanstead Avenue in Lancaster. The victims were part of a group of men that had just left a party and were congregating in front of a house down the street, homicide detectives said. (Read more here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on these crimes is urged to contact Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station at 661-948-8466 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-tips (8477).<\/p>\n
