PORTSMOUTH, Va. — Author's note: The video above is on file from October 2020.
Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for the Portsmouth Police Department said they were changing an investigation that investigators initially thought was a shooting.
The day before, the department said a man had been shot in the 1000 block of 7th Street and had been rushed to a hospital.
After a few hours of investigation, the department now suspects the man wasn't shot, but instead was hit with "flying debris" in that area. His injuries weren't life-threatening.
Police officers found damage to a building and several cars when they examined the scene.
Officers are looking for a suspect vehicle -- a silver SUV that would have been in that area around 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 27.
A spokesperson said it looked like it could be a Cadillac XT5.
