Aurora police says a 19-year-old is in custody after a man had to be transported to the hospital following an incident that occurred in the parking lot of a Burger King.

Authorities say officers responded to a local hospital regarding a 50-year-old man, who has to be transported to the emergency room as he was suffering from gunshot wounds. 

Investigators determined that the shooting occurred in the parking lot of the Burger King located at 625 N. Peoria St. around 8:30 p.m.
