El Paso Police tell ABC-7 a man is recovering after being shot in the leg during a parking lot altercation in northeast El Paso early Sunday morning.

Investigators said officers responded to a ‘shots fired’ call on the 9100 block of Dyer around 2:25 a.m.

Officers said they were unable to find any shooting victims until a call was received from nearby William Beaumont Army Medical Center reporting that a victim with a gun shot wound to his leg was at the hospital.
