Sellers said the VCU does not believe the wound is life-threatening, and no one has yet been taken into custody in response to the shooting.

The gunplay follows a Monday shooting at a west Tuscaloosa apartment complex which injured a juvenile girl and a Wednesday dispute near Freeman Park which ended with a man shot in his hand.

Sellers said the VCU continues to investigate the Friday morning shooting on Skyland and said additional details may be released later.
