Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 2:50 p.m. to the Olive Hills Apartments on Lawncrest Avenue, off West Third Street in Drexel, on a report of shots fired.

While deputies were on the way, a motorist drove up to a trooper in a marked Ohio State Highway Patrol cruiser at U.S. 35/West Third Street with a gunshot victim inside the vehicle.

The victim, who suffered a gunshot to the back, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to the sheriff’s office.

The shooting, which happened at the apartment complex in the area of Calumet Lane and Bronson Street, remains under investigation.
