Police say they responded to calls about 3 p.m. Monday that a person had been shot outside a Ross store on Desert Inn Road.

Officers say they found a man with a gunshot wound to his hand, who said a stranger had shot him. The victim was taken to the hospital.

Police say they found a man who matched the suspect description, but he didn't obey their commands and instead pulled a gun from his waistband.
