Kudos to someone at WANE-15 for correcting the headline on this story this morning. It now matches the body copy and the facts.
Here's the corrected story/headline:

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — A person has been hurt in a shooting on Fort Wayne’s south side.
Police and medics were called around 3:40 p.m. to the 1900 block of Fox Point Trail, inside the Villa Capri Apartments complex off South Anthony Boulevard, on a report of a shooting.
Fort Wayne Police spokeswoman Sgt. Sofia Rosales-Scatena texted WANE 15 an update that the victim has injuries that are “non-life threatening.”

The shooting remains under investigation.
