BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Around 6:45 pm on Thursday, the Bakersfield Police Department responded to a call about gunshots at the Walmart on Mall View Road in Bakersfield. When officers arrived, they found a man with a wound to his leg.
According to our 23ABC News Team members at the scene, when officers asked the man what happened, he was uncooperative and told them that he had just randomly started bleeding.
A BPD investigation turned up no shell casings in the parking lot and patrons interviewed by police said they had not heard any gunshots. The injured person was later evaluated by medical personnel who found no evidence that his wound was the result of a gunshot.
Previous versions of this story incorrectly described the nature of the wound.
