A fight in Hammond’s Martin Luther King Park led to a man getting shot Saturday night.

Hammond officers were escorting crowds of people off the property at 1001 Highland St. when during the fracas, they heard approximately four shots fired on the park’s east end, Hammond Police spokesman Lt. Steve Kellogg said Sunday.

Officers saw a vehicle leaving the scene and discovered a 21-year-old man with a small-caliber, non-life-threatening wound to his upper chest, Kellogg said.

No additional injuries were reported, according to Kellogg.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Sgt. Marc Ferry at 219-852-2991.
