TRENTON -- Police investigating a Thursday shooting say it appears the 24-year-old man shot himself in the foot.

Officers responded to Capital Health Regional Medical Center around 10:17 p.m. on a report of a gunshot victim, Lt. Stephen Varn said.

The man, who was wounded in the right foot, told police he was in the area of Bellevue Avenue and Calhoun Street when he was struck.
