Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Hermit said paramedics were called to the Quest apartments in Dawson Street North at 9am this morning after reports of a shooting.
A 51-year-old man was found alone in a room with a significant gunshot wound to his leg.
Police, who would not say if the man was known to them, believe the man was on his own when the injuries were sustained.
“He’s stable but he has received a significant leg injury,” Detective Senior Sergeant Hermit.
Detectives were investigating a vehicle, believed to be owned by the victim. They would not comment on the type of gun used.
