Update: The shooting victim died at UW Hospital. Police have identified a person of interest but no arrests have been made.

A man sustained life-threatening injuries Wednesday in a shooting behind a town of Madison gas station, Police Chief Scott Gregory said.

The shooting was reported at about 8 p.m. at Capitol Petro Mart, 2570 Rimrock Road.

The victim was taken to UW Hospital, Gregory said.

According to a gas station worker, who declined to be named for safety concerns, the victim entered the gas station and made eye contact with another man already in the store. This man said, “Do we have a problem here,” before drawing a gun. The victim turned and run and the shooter followed. The victim was shot behind the gas station.

Bystanders at the scene said they heard between five and seven shots. It was not immediately known how many hit the victim.

The suspect was seen fleeing the gas station west on foot, police said.

Police said that no bullets entered the gas station, but one gas station employee’s SUV caught in the crossfire had its windows shattered.
