Detectives are investigating an overnight shooting in downtown Savannah in which a bystander was injured by gunfire.
A 22-year-old man was taken to Memorial University Medical Center with a non-life threatening shoulder wound after the 12:15 a.m. incident near Bay and Whitaker streets, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.
The area of the shooting was immediately saturated with officers who were in the area for the Fourth of July festivities, he said.
Four males running from the scene were detained and questioned, but, as of late Friday morning, none were connected to the shooting, Miller said.
One of them, 18-year-old Joseph Roscoe Marshall, was charged with possession of a stolen firearm after an officer saw him running from police on the 300 block of West Broughton Street, Miller said. Marshall is not a suspect in the shooting.
