Lebanon City Police announced Friday that they are investigating the circumstances of a gun shooting which caused a 29-year-old victim to be hospitalized this week in Lebanon.
In a news release, the Lebanon City Police Department said that officers were dispatched to 10th and Church streets around 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15, for a well being check.

The news release says that a short time later, around 2:55 a.m. on Wednesday, officers were dispatched to a medical facility in Lebanon for an assault. Officers arrived at the facility shortly thereafter and spoke with a 29-year-old victim suffering from two gunshot wounds, according to the release.
