An Irondequoit man accused of shooting a relative Tuesday morning is facing felony charges.

Salvatore Quattrocchi, 23, was charged with first-degree assault in connection with the shooting, which occurred about 4:25 a.m. in a Broderick Drive residence, said Irondequoit Police Sgt. Mark Bean. The shooting victim, a 50-year-old man who was not identified by police, was shot in the leg. The man was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Police did not say how the two were related or what led to the shooting. Police said when officers arrived at the scene, the home was quickly secured and Quattrocchi, who lived in the home, was detained.

Quattrocchi pleaded not guilty to the charge Tuesday in Irondequoit Town Court. He was remanded to the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond.
