A man was grazed by a bullet in a shooting Saturday morning in the West Side Austin neighborhood.

The 22-year-old man suffered a graze wound to his upper left arm about 11:40 a.m. in the 5900 block of West Division, according to Chicago Police. He refused medical treatment at the scene.

Police could not provide further details about the circumstances of the shooting because the man was being uncooperative with investigators.

A police source said the man is a documented gang member and the shooting might have been gang-related.
