A shooting near an apartment complex in Antioch on Tuesday night left a 19-year-old man injured with gunshot wounds in both legs, according to police.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting in a parking lot at 2201 Sycamore Drive at around 10 p.m., according to the Antioch Police Department. A Pittsburg man was found shot in both legs, surrounded by bullet casings and wearing a holster.

Police also reported locating a stolen gun a few feet from the victim, and later arrested him for possession of a stolen firearm.

The victim was temporarily released from custody to be treated at a hospital for his injuries, police reported, which were not expected to be life threatening.

Police did not release any suspect information Tuesday and are investigating the shooting as an attempted homicide.
