UPDATE Salinas gunshot report investigated as self-inflicted groin wound

Salinas police are investigating what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to a man's groin Thursday, police say.

Salinas police received reports of a gunshot victim near the corner of East Lake and Soledad streets at 1:28 p.m.

Salinas Police Cmdr. Bryan Cupak said a man in his 30s was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening gunshot wound to his groin area. The shooting is being investigated as self-inflicted, he said, and the victim was uncooperative.

Cupak said the shooting may not have occurred in the area where the victim was located.

The shooting comes just a few weeks after a 61-year-old man was gunned down at East Lake and Bridge Streets around 5 p.m. July 13.

In May, a 49-year-old man was fatally stabbed in Chinatown. Randy Edward Perry was found in the area of Lake Street and Bridge Alley bleeding and unconscious from at least one stab wound, according to Salinas police.

This story was amended as more information was provided by authorities.
