Police said officers responded to the unit block of Decatur Avenue around 8:20 p.m. Monday for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, the victim said he and Woelfel had been in an argument when Woelfel got a shotgun from his home and fired a round toward the victim's foot.

That bullet grazed the victim's leg, police said.

A family member gave officers the 12 gauge Winchester shotgun Woelfel allegedly used in the shooting, according to a news release.

Online court records show Woelfel is set to appear in court Wednesday morning for a bail review hearing.

Police did not say what may have led to the argument or if the victim required medical attention.
