UPDATE: Shooting victim identified; condition is critical.

SALEM -- A man was shot on a Salem City street late Sunday night, authorities say.

The incident took place around 10:22 p.m. at the corner of East Broadway and Olive Street.

The unidentified victim was reported to be 29 years old.

He was shot at least once in the back, according to an official.

The man was taken by ambulance from the scene to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. A medical evacuation helicopter had been requested to airlift him from the city, but apparently could not fly because of the weather.

The Salem City Police Department and Salem County Prosecutor's Office are investigating the shooting.

There was no immediate word on the man's condition.

A search for a suspect in the case was still ongoing late last night, an official said.
