LAKELAND, Fla. — A 27-year-old man was taken to an area hospital with gunshot wounds after an overnight shooting in Lakeland, according to a news release.

He was taken to an area hospital and is in fair condition. Authorities say he was able to speak with emergency responders who were providing care.
Police officers happened to be monitoring the area as a local business was closing after a concert had ended and a large crowd had developed outside, the news release said.
The suspect is reported to have fled the area in a vehicle. At this time, no arrests have been made, but authorities believe this was not a random act.
The investigation into this shooting remains ongoing.
