Waltham police are investigating a shooting that left one man injured near 913 Main St. shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday.

Officers initially responded to 49 Rich St., a multifamily home off Main Street, for a report of suspicious activity, according to police and fire dispatch recordings. Four men answered the door, and all four were armed, police said. One man, wearing a Celtics jersey, left on foot toward the end of Rich Street, while the three others got into an unknown vehicle (The Boston Globe).

Police later found a man on the ground near 913 Main St. with what dispatch recordings described as one, possibly two, gunshot wounds to his lower abdomen. He was taken to a hospital, which was not identified. His condition was not known Sunday night.

A be-on-the-lookout alert was issued for a suspect described as a tall, thin white man wearing a gray or blue shirt and riding a black stand-up scooter. Officers secured part of Rich Street with crime scene tape as the investigation continued.

Waltham police said just after 7 p.m. that the investigation was active and ongoing but declined to comment further (NBC10 Boston, Boston 25 News).

No arrest has been announced.
