Augusta Police are asking for the public's help with the details of an incident on Thursday night that left one man with a gunshot wound.

It was around 8:30 Thursday night when Augusta Dispatch began receiving multiple phone calls about gunshots in the Middle Street area. Officers investigated and learned that 2 vehicles may have been involved in the incident, possibly fleeing the scene before they arrived. Witnesses described a gold SUV and a silver SUV.
