A man was seriously wounded Sunday by gunfire in Hammond, police said.

Officers responded to a shooting about 4:30 p.m. in front of a residence in the 1500 block of Calumet Avenue, Lt. Richard Hoyda said.

The man suffered two wounds to a leg and was taken to a local hospital, he said.

The man could not give police a description of who shot him, he said. In an update Sunday night, Hoyda said the man's wounds may have been self-inflicted.

The case remains under investigation, he said.
