After the University of Kentucky Wildcats won their eighth national championship, police from Lexington responded to reports of riots and small fires that resulted in dozens of arrests and a man wounded from gunfire.

Battalion Chief Ed Davis of the Lexington Division of Fire and Emergency Services said he witnessed the shooting as he was filling out paperwork. He reportedly heard one man shooting another quite a few times, reported the Associated Press.

Police Lt. Clayton Roberts said they Lexington P.D. has yet to make an arrest in the shooting, which occurred approximately around 2 a.m. local time. The injured man, who was in his 30s, was brought to University of Kentucky Medical Center and was treated for serious injuries. However they did not appear to be life threatening said Roberts, according to the AP. However, amid the confusion of the celebrations, the gunman escaped.

Within minutes of the conclusion of the NCAA tournament, University of Kentucky fans lined the streets near the Lexington campus late Monday night.

We're seeing fires being lit and things of that nature, said Sherelle Roberts, a spokesman for the Lexington Police, according to the AP. She also said police saw couches being set ablaze and a car crashing into a patio area at a bar. They handed out several citations during the impromptu celebration, mostly for alcohol related offenses.

I think that we're taking a more zero-tolerance approach, she said. That has a part to play in it, but also people started celebrating much earlier than they did on Saturday. The amount of time to become intoxicated and the amount of time for us to be in contact with these intoxicated people has increased.
