URBANA, Ill. (WAND) - One person was grazed in the head by a gunshot outside of Carle Foundation Hospital Thursday night, police said. 

Police said a 28-year-old Champaign man came to the hospital to visit a person. Before the shooting, they said he went outside to meet someone who arrived in a vehicle near the circle drive. As he walked toward that vehicle, a person in a separate vehicle shot a single gunshot toward the victim. 

The man's wound was non-life-threatening. He was treated from the hospital and released. 

The vehicle involved in the shooting fled the scene and has not been located. Detectives do not believe this was a random shooting and said the victim was likely targeted.
