NORWICH – Following more than a week of speculation, the still unnamed victim who was shot last Sunday, July 19, finally shows signs of his health improving.

The world of social media exploded with many rumors initially following the incident last week, regarding who the victim was and the medical state he was currently in, which caused many to wildly speculate.

“I personally spoke with the victim on Sunday and his condition is improving,” said Chenango County District Attorney, Joseph A. McBride.

At this time the victim has still not officially been identified, as he has asked personally for this.

“Obviously my heart goes out for all involved especially his family and friends. I want to make sure the public knows that I am involved and we want them to be informed as much as possible on what is currently happening. We are working to make this a safer place for all,” said McBride.

McBride had no other comment on the matter at this time due to the case still pending in the court system.
