A man was seriously injured in a shooting early Thursday morning, according to the Winona Police Department.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment on the 300 block of West 10th Street around 4:22 a.m. There, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound.

That man was identified as a 35-year-old from Winona. He was brought to Winona Health and then later flown to Gundersen Health in La Crosse. He is said to be in critical condition.

A second man was taken into custody for questioning, police said. He was identified by police later in the day as 27-year-old Cole Robert Cameron of Winona. He is being held on suspicion of first-degree assault.

Investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident and there’s no threat to the public at this time. According to police, Cameron and the victim were arguing before the shooting happened.

While searching the scene, police say they found a black handgun that is thought to be the weapon involved.

The shooting is still under investigation. Formal charges are still pending.
