AURORA | A man told police he was shot in the leg through the front door of his apartment early Wednesday when he went to the door because of a loud banging, according to police.
Officers were called to the north-Aurora apartment on the 16400 block of East 17th Avenue at about 1:30 a.m. after a report of a shooting there.
“Preliminary details are that the victim heard someone loudly knocking on his door,” Aurora police spokesperson Matthew Wells-Longshore said in a statement. “When the victim went to the front door, a single shot was fired through the door and struck him in the leg.”
The injured man said the shooter then drove away in an “older-model blue SUV, possibly a Jeep.
Police were able to obtain video of the vehicle driving away and said that the car had only one chrome tire rim. The other three are black.
“The victim was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, but is expected to survive,” Wells-Longshore said. “Investigators are following up on leads, but no arrests have been made.”
Investigators are trying to determine what led to the shooting.
