MADISON, Wis. (WMTV)---Police are investigating an attempted homicide on the city’s east side that happened on Tuesday night.

According to the Madison Police Department, a 14-year-old Madison boy suffered non-life threatening injuries as a result of this shooting. He has been treated and released from a local hospital.

Police believe this was not a random act, but that the victim was not the intended target of the shooting.

The shooting happened in the 3100 block of Webb Avenue just before 9:00 p.m. People in the community gathered for an event to help stop the violence in Madison just hours before.

"No more than an hour ago we had 300 people in a community gathering, women, children, it was a beautiful event. As soon as I was about to leave, ten minutes later there was a shooting, it's just mind boggling." said Caliph Muab'El, a member from the Focused Interruption Coalition.

Anyone with information about this incident is being asked to call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014.
