According to the Sharon Police Department, the shooting happened on Saturday around 6 p.m. in the 500 block of Baird Way.

The Sharon Police were made aware of the shooting once a 26-year-old Sharon man walked into the hospital to receive treatment for gunshot wounds.
The victim talked to police, and police say he gave them a false location of the shooting. Despite the inaccurate information, police say they were later able to figure out where the shooting occurred and obtained video of the incident.

The criminal complaint said Stinson said he "wanted to be neighborly" and that he "was going to be getting into an old fashion fight with someone."
Police say the neighbor had security footage that showed Stinson arguing with the victim. Police say the argument escalated into a fight before Stinson shot the victim one time in the leg.
Stinson was arrested, and police are charging him with criminal attempt homicide, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm prohibited and recklessly endangering another person.
