A man in his 20s was shot in the foot Wednesday night in northwest Berkeley, authorities report.

Officers were dispatched to the 1700 block of Fifth Street just before 10:15 p.m. when callers heard gunfire, [Berkeley police](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) said.

Officers searched the area and determined that a shooting had occurred. They found damage to a fence and car but no suspects or victims remained at the scene.

The Berkeley Scanner [reported the news on Twitter](https://twitter.com/BerkeleyScanner/status/1681928193996120067?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) early Thursday morning.

Nearly four hours after the initial gunfire reports, BPD got word that a man had shown up at Kaiser Hospital in Vallejo with a gunshot wound to the foot.

The Vallejo Police Department told BPD that the man, who was in his 20s, had gone into the hospital just after 1 a.m.

"This is preliminary information, as this is an active investigation, and police reports are still in progress," BPD said Thursday morning in a prepared statement.
