Lawrence police are investigating an overnight shooting that injured a 17-year-old boy.
Officers were called to the skate park at Edgewood Park just before 1 a.m. Thursday after people heard shots fired and cars speeding away from the area, according to a social media post by the Lawrence Police Department.
A 17-year-old, hit in the arm by gunfire, suffered injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
Police found no victim on arrival at the scene, but did find evidence that a shooting had taken place at the intersection of Maple Lane and Brook Street. Officers then located the shooting victim at a hospital.
Detectives are gathering evidence and the investigation is ongoing.
