Des Moines police are investigating a shooting just north of the city's downtown neighborhood Wednesday evening.

Officer Sidik Becirovic said seven shell casings were recovered at about 6:30 p.m. following reports of shots being fired at 629 Oakridge Drive in the Oakridge neighborhood apartments.

"One victim showed up at to the hospital with a gunshot wound, but we're not sure if it's related to this yet," Becirovic said.

He said two individuals had been fighting before shots rang out, but the scene had mostly cleared by the time officers arrived. The victim's condition is unknown.

Police taped off a section of the street outside building 204 near a basketball court in the complex. Dozens of juveniles standing nearby said they'd heard shots but didn't see anything.

Becirovic said he does not believe there is an immediate threat to public safety, but no arrests had been made and police had no suspects as of Wednesday evening.
