The shooting happened in the 2600 block of Gettysburg early Wednesday morning, and is now listed in critical condition at a local hospital. Investigators said it appears the victim was the intended target in the ambush-style shooting.

Homicide detectives were called to the scene and are now trying to locate the gunman. Officers said about eight shots were fired, with about six of them hitting the man.

Officers said they believe one or more gunmen hid in some nearby bushes waiting for the victim to come home. Investigators said the victim's girlfriend and her 15-year-old daughter were in the home at the time of the shooting, but were not injured.

Residents who live nearby said they heard several loud gunshots. Police said it appears that the shots may have come from a high-powered assault rifle.

At this time, officers are not sure why the victim was targeted.
