Wednesday night's shooting is the latest incident of gun violence in our area.

A man was treated and released from the hospital after College Station Police surrounded a gas station on Southwest Parkway.

Police believe the man may have been shot by a relative at the nearby Parkway Circle Apartments. They believe he then drove himself to the gas station.

So far this year, College Station Police say there have been 35 gun-related crimes out of 63 total reported aggravated assaults.

Twenty-four were considered aggravated assaults, while 11 aggravated robberies.

In 2017, CSPD reported a total of 78 aggravated assaults.

In Bryan, police reported 11 cases of aggravated robberies where a gun was used.

In 2017 it was 24. The previous year there were 23 and in 2015 there were 26.

The latest crime has nearby residents on Southwest Parkway on edge.

"It was definitely stressful for my wife and I," said Devin Ward, a College Station resident.

"We just saw all these police officers all around the gas station. We didn't really know what happened. I just assumed it was a robbery," he said.

Ward believes gun violence is an issue the country continues to face.

"I think it's a touchy subject to talk about, but at the end of the day, nobody wants to get shot and nobody likes to hear about other people getting shot. We don't want to be in this area because of worrying about the crime and stuff," he said. "I hope that the community addresses the issue and that we can just kind of come together and fix any problems that are going on with the gun violence as a country and as a state."

College Station Police tell us they have a person of interest in Wednesday night's shooting.
