A 14-year-old boy was wounded but alive after being shot four times Sunday afternoon at a home in the 3100 block of Seventh Avenue in East Lake.
Chattanooga police said the boy was shot in the left chest, left thigh and twice in his left arm.
The shooting happened about 5:05 p.m. When police arrived, the boy was alert and walking around, according to a police news release. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance and his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
On the street of single-family, frame homes, crime scene tape was strung from the chain-link fence in the front yard all the way across the street.
