On Thursday, July 13, 2017 at approximately 9:00 p.m., officers responded to the area of North 2nd Street and State Street for a report of shots fired. Officers arrived and learned that an assault occurred in one of the elevators, where it appears 3 men punched and kicked the victim, and unknown heavy set black male who is approximately 30 yrs. old.
