A man is in the hospital after reporting that he got shot overnight while his car was stranded at Gilbert Road on-ramp to the Loop 202 in the southeast Valley.
Lt. James Warriner, spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety, said an officer responded to a stranded motorist and found the man who had been shot in the leg.
The man said a vehicle pulled up and fired some rounds at him, Warriner.
The shooting occurred between 1:30 and 1:50 a.m. and investigators shut the freeway down for two hours.
The man’s wound does not threaten his life, Warriner said.
Detectives are interviewing the man at the hospital.
