Police detained a man who supposedly shot another male in Point Breeze.
The complainant told authorities that on June 20, he suffered a single gunshot wound to the back while near the 1700 block of Federal Street. According to Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division, a family member transported him to Methodist Hospital, with medical personnel then taking him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where overseers listed him in stable condition.
Processing the scene, authorities gathered evidence relevant to the crime and arrested Bernard Peterson, of the 2200 block of South Woodstock Street, June 24. They charged the 32-year-old, who had not posted his $875,000 bail as of press time and who awaits a July 31 status hearing, with possession of an instrument of crime, attempted murder, simple and aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and firearms violations.
