An employee told him to leave, and the man then went to a nearby restaurant, where he also created a disturbance and broke some items.

The man then returned to the body shop, and at some point, both he and an employee got into a physical altercation.

The employee shot the man once in the leg. The man, in his 30s, was taken to University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police are questioning the employee, who is in his 50s, to determine if charges will be filed.

It’s unclear why the man showed up at the body shop in the first place. Officers don’t believe the men knew each other before the incident.
