SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting that sent a teen to the hospital.

Just after 2 am on Tuesday, police heard multiple shots near the area of the Patrol North substation in Wichita, according to Officer Trevor Macy.  A 911 call was then dispatched regarding a shooting in the 1500 block of N. Chautauqua.

As officers were en route to that location, they learned that an 18-year-old shooting victim had been dropped off at an area hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. 

Investigators located a crime scene in the 1500 block of N Chautauqua, but cooperation from victim and witnesses was limited, according to Macy.
