Police say the juvenile, only identified as a teenager, was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives were called to investigate after claims that the shooting was the result of a “robbery gone bad,” but it was later learned that the shooting happened when the victim and his friends were handling a gun and it was accidentally fired.
It’s unclear if any charges will be filed in the case.
The investigation is ongoing.
