Battle Creek Police are looking for information that will help their investigation of a shooting on West Rittenhouse Avenue early this morning. 

Officers were dispatched at 2:46 a.m. today (Sunday, Sept. 24) to the first block of West Rittenhouse for a shots fired complaint. When officers arrived, they found several bullet shell casings in the road. 

Shortly after officers arrived at the scene, a 37-year-old Battle Creek man arrived at Bronson Battle Creek Hospital with a gunshot wound to his right arm. He was treated and released.
