Gunfire on Cleveland's East Side last night left a 19-year-old man wounded on the 2800 block of Hampton Road, where officers found him with a gunshot injury before rushing him to the hospital.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene just before 11 p.m. Officers responded at about 10:56 p.m., immediately began first aid on the victim, and then turned him over to Cleveland EMS for transport to a local hospital, according to a police release. No arrests have been made, and the case remains under investigation, as reported by Cleveland 19.

Past Shootings on Hampton Road
The 2800 block of Hampton Road has already seen gunfire this year. In mid-May, Cleveland 19 reported that two men were critically injured after a shooting on the same block. That earlier incident highlights how tightly concentrated gun violence has been in pockets of the East Side this spring and summer.
Anyone with information about yesterday's shooting is asked to contact Cleveland police or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County. This story will be updated as authorities release more details.
