SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Authorities say a 29-year-old Sioux Falls man was hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries after he was shot in the face.

The Argus Leader reports police were called to the area of Eighth Street and Cleveland Avenue in eastern Sioux Falls for a report of gunshots around 9 p.m. Thursday.

Police say a 20-year-old suspect turned himself into police at the law enforcement center at 10:15 p.m. He has been charged with aggravated assault.

Police say the victim was driving his car in the area when he made a U-turn to park. The suspect was in the backseat of another vehicle that parked in front of the victim’s vehicle.

Police say the men got out of their cars, and the suspect pointed a gun at the victim, who got back into his vehicle. Police say the suspect fired 11 shots at the car, striking the victim once in the face.

Police say the two men knew each other and that the victim also had a gun but that police do not know if it was fired.
