A young man has been hospitalised with a serious gunshot wound following an alleged shooting at a Bridgewater property on Sunday afternoon.
The 20-year-old was reportedly shot in the foot with a shotgun during an altercation at the home in Hobart’s northern suburbs.
Emergency services were called to the Taylor Crescent address at about 3:30pm.
He was taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital with injuries described as serious but not life-threatening.
Tasmania Police said four men arrived at the property in two vehicles – a white Ford Ranger and a white Ford Focus XR5 – before a confrontation broke out inside the house.
“One man sustained a serious injury from a single shotgun blast to his foot,” police said.
“Tasmania Police believe this is an isolated incident involving parties known to one another.”
“Investigations are ongoing.”
Officers have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
They are particularly keen to speak with anyone who has dash cam or CCTV footage from the Taylor Crescent area on Sunday afternoon or who noticed suspicious activity nearby.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Tasmania Police on 131 444.
Anonymous reports can also be made through Crime Stoppers.
