Police say an early-morning shooting inside a community radio station in Madison doesn’t appear to be random.

Officers were called to the shooting at WORT Radio shortly after 3 a.m. on Sunday. A police spokesman said a 33-year-old man was injured by gunfire and taken to a hospital.

Station officials said a man wearing a mask and hood entered the station and opened fire on three workers. They said the injured DJ was quickly treated and discharged from the hospital.

David Devereaux-Weber, the president of WORT’s Board of Directors, told the Wisconsin State Journal that the shooter “fired a number of shots,” and that the volunteers ducked and ran into the master control room. They hid in the music library and called 911.

Police were still searching for the suspect as of Sunday afternoon.
