City police are investigating a shooting that rocked the Plazaview Court Apartments.

A 26-year-old Bennington Avenue man was leaving an apartment in the complex just after 9 p.m. Wednesday when another man accused him of “disrespecting” a woman, then hit him in the head with a gun.

The two men wrestled over the gun, ending up in a laundry room inside the building.

According to reports, a third man appeared and began shooting at the men as the two wrestled over the gun. The first armed man returned gunfire before all three men ran in separate directions.
