A shooting that left a Toms River 35-year-old with an arm wound in Lakewood today is the focus of a probe, as police try to find the gun-wielding attacker.

Scant details from Lakewood PD reveal that officers were summoned to the vicinity of Martin Luther King Drive and Ashley Avenue at about 3:30 PM, to look into reports of shots fired.
