Police are releasing few details about an officer-involved shooting in Victoria on Monday.

A statement from Victoria police says a man armed with a weapon was shot by officers during an altercation at Royal Jubilee Hospital shortly before 5:30 a.m.

Police say the victim is believed to have non-life-threatening injuries and no officers were hurt.

MacIntyre says police used a less-lethal stun gun when they encountered the man but he was shot during the confrontation.
