Police say the victim of a shooting in the city of Ithaca is currently listed in stable, but serious condition at a regional trauma center and the investigation into who did it is unfolding.
On Saturday around 9:30 p.m. police responded to the 100 block of North Plain Street for multiple reports of a shooting.
Upon arrival, officers found a male with a gunshot wound to his upper body. Officers quickly began rendering aid to the man prior to EMS arrival.

The victim was flown to a regional trauma center. He’s listed in stable but serious condition there.
