Detectives from the Armed Crime Squad are appealing for public assistance following a non-fatal shooting in Norlane on Sunday night.
Emergency services responded to reports of a man located with a gunshot wound near the intersection of Alkira and Yooringa avenues shortly before 11pm on Sunday, 17 November.
The man, a 47-year-old of no fixed place of address, was taken to hospital with serious injuries where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
Police believe he was shot on a nearby oval at Evans Reserve around 10.30pm
He lay there for about thirty minutes, before managed to knock on the door of a nearby house stating he'd been shot and needed help. A woman inside at the home at the time called Triple Zero.
The victim then left on foot, before calling Triple Zero himself from a payphone on Alkira Avenue.
After reviewing nearby CCTV, police are aware there were a number of people in the area at the time, both on bikes and on foot.
They are particularly keen to speak to these people and are encouraging them to come forward and contact police.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or with footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
