At 9:30 p.m. Thursday, officers went to Spartanburg Medical Center in reference to a gunshot victim being treated at the hospital, the report stated. When police arrived at the hospital, doctors told them an X-ray showed a bullet broke the victim's femur and a bullet fragment was still lodged in his upper right thigh.
