Armed Crime Squad detectives are investigating after a man was shot in Coolaroo yesterday afternoon.
It is understood that three people were standing near a green Holden Commodore outside a property on Pearson Crescent, Coolaroo, at about 4.10pm.
Police understand that a dark-coloured BMW turned from Kyabram Street into Pearson Crescent, where two offenders got out of the vehicle, then approached the victim, a 22-year-old Mickleham man, and fired several shots as he ran down a driveway towards a house and over a fence.
Those involved had left the scene before police arrived. The BMW fled west on Pearson Crescent.
A short time later, the victim self-presented to the Northern Hospital in Epping with suspected non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Detectives are working to establish the exact circumstances of the incident.
The investigation is ongoing.
