One person was hospitalized early Saturday after a shooting in southwest Carbondale, authorities said.

About 3:17 a.m., police responded to the 500 block of South Ash Street for reports of a shooting. One person was found with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and taken to Memorial Hospital of Carbondale for treatment, police said.

Several squad cars were observed at the corner of Ash and College streets for nearly two hours as police investigated an apartment inside a building near the intersection.

Police said the victim is no longer cooperating with the investigation and no description of the suspect, who is thought to be an acquaintance of the victim, is available.

The parties involved in the incident are not affiliated with the university, police said.
