A Harrisburg resident was robbed before being shot in the leg in the 2400 block of Reel Street around 10:15 on Thursday night.
The victim told police that he was walking on Reel Street when three black men wearing black hooded sweatshirts and blue bandanas approached him and demanded his belongings.
Police say when the victim complied, the suspects hit him in the head with a gun before shooting him.
The man was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
