A 20-year-old Toledo man was shot in the lower part of his left leg Friday night as he was leaving a party on Prospect Avenue, police said.

Dennis E. Scott, Jr., whose address was not provided by authorities, was treated at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, police said.

The hospital said he was not admitted.

Mr. Scott told police he was shot by a drive-by gunman as he was leaving the party at 11 p.m.

He was found lying on the driveway outside 1080 Prospect, where the party was being held.

He said he heard five shots as he headed down the walkway at that address, but did not see who shot him, police said.
