A Colvin Avenue man shot on two separate occasions in 1998 was shot again early Saturday as he walked with two other men on Genesee Street near Sherman Avenue, police said.

Philip Purdue, 31, told police that an unknown man approached the trio about 1:30 a. m., fired several shots and hit him in the left thigh.

A spokeswoman at Erie County Medical Center said Saturday afternoon that Purdue had undergone surgery and did not have a condition to report for him. Purdue was shot in the right sternum in April 1998, and two months later, was shot in the left knee.
