TEMPE — A 15-year-old and a "juvenile" were injured after an apparent drive-by shooting Friday evening.

Police say two people, one being a 15-year-old, were walking in the area of Evergreen Road and University Drive, east of Loop 101, when a passing vehicle shot at them.

The 15-year-old was struck by gunfire and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The vehicle left the scene and was located later, though nobody was inside.

Police say the four occupants of the vehicle, only identified at this time as "juveniles", were found in the area. One of them had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

It is unknown if anybody has been arrested in connection to this incident.

No further information is available.
