SALINA— Law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting that sent a man to the hospital in Salina.
Just after 10p.m. Tuesday, police responded to Arby's, 510 South Broadway Boulevard in Salina after a report of a man with a gunshot wound, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.
When officers arrived, they found Tristen Howard, 24, of Salina, on the west side of the Arby's building with what appeared to be a gunshot wound in his left leg.
