One person was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening following a shooting on Caples Avenue off Fourth Plain Boulevard on Monday afternoon.
Officers responded to a house in the 2900 block of Caples Avenue in the Bagley Downs neighborhood around 1:15 p.m. for a report of a drive-by shooting, then set up a search perimeter around the area.
