A man has been shot after a morning shooting in Cranbourne East on Wednesday 14 November.
A 26-year-old man, who suffered lower body injuries was taken to the Alfred Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and remained in a stable condition.
Police have not revealed if the man resides at the Elsmlie Drive home when the shooting occurred about 6am.
Police blocked off the street and are investigating.
Neighbour Kom Hayer said he didn’t hear any gun shots but had heard loud motorbikes in the past at the home where the shooting occurred, particularly during the early hours of the morning.
He says there was sometimes fighting between a couple of men at the house, who “look like tradies” aged between 25 and 35.
He added there was normally “nothing suspicious” in the street and incident was a “bit of shock.”
“A bit scary,” he said.
Another neighbour said it was “unusual” as it was normally a “quiet street.”
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Police do not believe that this and the Safety Beach incidents are linked.
