AURORA, Colo. — Police in Aurora are investigating a shooting that wounded one person outside a restaurant Sunday evening.

Just before 7 p.m., police received a 911 call stating that a shooting had occurred in the 1000 block of South Sable Boulevard.

When police arrived, they found a person suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Police have not released the victim's name, age and gender.

Video from the scene shows the investigation is occurring at the Hibachi Grill & Buffet. Police said the shooting happened in the restaurant's parking lot during what police called a business transaction between two individuals.

An arrest has not been reported, and suspect information has not been released.

This is the second shooting in the city in as many days. Friday, 17-year-old Nathan Poindexter was shot and killed at the Town Center at Aurora. Police announced Saturday evening that they arrested 18-year-old Kamyl Xavier Garrette in connection with that shooting.
