Thanksgiving Day started with what appears to be a drug-related shooting in Easton, police said.
Police were called to the 200 block of S. 11th Street around 12:10 a.m. for reports of shots fired in the area.
Officers located evidence of gunfire in that area, and a short time later, police and an ambulance were sent to the unit block of North Warren Street for a man with a gunshot wound.
According to preliminary police investigation information, it appears the victim was targeted by the shooter.
The victim was walking in the area when he was confronted by a man wearing a black jacket and black hood, armed with a handgun, police said, and the victim was hit when several shots were fired.
Police said both men then fled the area, heading north on 11th Street.
The victim is a 22-year-old New Jersey man, and police said he has been less than cooperative. Officers said it appears this was a drug-related incident, and evidence was recovered in the 200 block of S. 11th Street and the unit block of N. Warren St.
The investigation is continuing.
Anyone with additional information is asked to call Det. Snyder at 610-250-6637, or the police tipline at 610-250-6635.
Callers can phone the tip line and remain anonymous.
