Police said the shooting occurred in the same spot where two officers were fired upon in February.

Updates a story published at 9:40 p.m. Monday.

HOLYOKE -- Police are investigating a Monday night shooting in South Holyoke that sent a city man to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The shooting occurred around 9 p.m. in an alley behind 569 South Canal St. and 5 Adams St., according to Holyoke Police Lt. Matthew Moriarty.

The alley, which includes parking for the apartment buildings, is the same spot where two Holyoke officers came under fire on Feb. 14. The officers, who were uninjured, were investigating a call on Adams Street when gunfire erupted from an upper-floor window. No arrests have been made in connection with that incident.

Police said the 34-year-old victim in Monday night's shooting was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield for gunshot wounds to the arm and groin. His condition was not immediately known.

The shooting location is about two blocks southwest of the Williamansett Bridge.

Moriarty said "no arrests" had been made as of 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

"It doesn't look like anything life threatening," he said of the victim's injuries.

Police did not indicate how many shots were fired or if any shell casings were recovered at the scene.

Holyoke Police Sgt. Daniel F. Reardon, speaking to The Republican shortly after the shooting, said it was unclear what prompted the gunfire. But, he noted, officers had responded to a disturbance in that same area about a half-hour earlier.
