Several shots were fired at a Hickory apartment complex Thursday night, injuring one man, police said.

One bullet hit a man in the right leg, just below the calf, said Sgt. Mike Beam of the Hickory Police Department. The injuries were not life-threatening.Beam would not disclose the name of the victim, who was taken to Catawba Valley Medical Center.

Police believe the victim and two other men had gotten in an argument earlier Thursday at the Terrance Hills apartments on Second Street Place and 11th Avenue S.W. Beam said witnesses told police that two or more shots were fired by a man standing near a white car.

Police on Thursday night were looking for two males, one with dreadlocks, and the white car, Beam said.

Anyone with information should call 828-324-2060.
