Officers responded to the 100 block of Broadway in Hanover at 9:40 a.m. and found a 34-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper chest, according to the Hanover Borough Police Department.
The victim was transported to York Hospital with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening, police said.
The shooting stemmed from an altercation with a 39-year-old neighbor, who allegedly brandished a firearm and fired, striking the victim, authorities detailed in a release.

The man was last seen heading north on Broadway in a gray Ford F-150 extended cab and is considered armed and dangerous, police said.
