They arrived to find the 15-year-old victim suffering from gunshot wound to the lower leg.

The teen was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
There is no suspect or motive information at this time.
Anyone with information that may help with the investigation is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
