Teen says shot by acquaintance
A 14-year-old boy showed up at Parkridge Medical Center about 9 p.m. Friday with a gunshot wound in his shoulder, Chattanooga police said Saturday.
The youth told police he was walking with two girls when two people he knew stepped out from behind bushes and shot at him, police spokeswoman Sgt. Jerri Weary said in a news release.
The boy said he was hit in the shoulder when he turned to run.
Police had received a report at 8:48 p.m. of a shooting at 2285 Wilcox Blvd. but found no one at the scene, Weary said.
