Aurora man shot, cops searching for gunman

A 24-year-old Aurora man was shot several times Tuesday morning on the 900 block of Sard Avenue, Aurora police said, and he is being treated for his wounds at a hospital.

The 24-year-old man was on the sidewalk in front of a home in the area about 10:15 a.m. when at least two men shot him several times from the corner of the house, officials say.

Police said their preliminary investigation indicated three men on foot, at least one of whom was armed, approached the man. The armed suspect opened fire before all the men ran away.

The gunman is described as a black man in his 20s wearing a white T-shirt and tan shorts. Police said they don't yet have a description of the other men.

Aurora police were not immediately available to comment further about the suspects.

Investigators believe the shooting was not random and said the man who was shot has refused to cooperate with police.

An update on his condition was not immediately available.
