A man was shot and wounded yesterday afternoon after a tenant dispute in a Wallingford rooming house in the 1900 block of N 46th St . Police say the man was shot by another tenant after he reportedly chased after a third tenant while armed with a knife.
According to police, the incident happened just past 4pm on Tuesday when two tenants in separate units had a fight. One man armed himself with a knife and began chasing the other tenant, who then went to a third tenant for help. That man then armed himself with a handgun and shot the man with the knife. Police say this isn’t the first dispute between the tenants.
The man who was shot is at Harborview with non-life threatening injuries, and police are still investigating.
