WFLA reports that deputies were called to the scene at the 300 block of Tweed Avenue after 2 a.m., following a distress call from a woman. She reported that her boyfriend had been shot by another individual.
The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, suffered a graze wound to the back of the head and was quickly rushed to Tampa General Hospital, per WTSP.
