MANHATTAN ( KSNT ) – The Riley County Police Department (RCPD) issued an update for a shooting that happened late Wednesday evening in Manhattan.

The RCPD said just before 8 p.m. on Oct. 9, officers responded to the 900 block of Yuma Street for reports of shots fired. Police found a 23-year-old man from Manhattan had been shot in a nearby parking lot.

The man was taken to an area hospital where he was life-flighted to a Topeka hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.

The RCPD said the shooter, a 26-year-old man, allegedly acted in self-defense. Police said it is believed there was little to no relationship between the two individuals.

The RCPD said this is an ongoing investigation and more details will be provided as they become available.
