A man from New York was arrested after a shooting in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Saturday evening.

Manchester police responded to a report of a shooting on 140 Orange St. at around 5:30 p.m. and found a 27-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. Police say the victim was uncooperative with officers and taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A witness told police he was sitting on his porch when he heard a loud bang and then saw a man walking between two houses, according to authorities.

Authorities say they obtained surveillance video that showed the suspect, finding someone who matched the description shortly after.

The man was identified as 26-year-old Gil Diaz from Queens, NY, and police say he was uncooperative with officers, initially providing a false name.

Diaz is being charged with first degree assault, felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, falsifying physical evidence, unsworn falsification, and resisting arrest. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to the charges.
