SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a drive-by shooting that injured a teen.
Just before 2:30 a.m. police were flagged down at Lincoln and Oliver in Wichita in reference to a shooting that had occurred, according to Officer Trevor Macy. They learned that there was a 17-year-old shooting victim located in the 4900 block of E. Harry. Officers responded to that location and found a 17- year-old girl with a gunshot wound to the leg. She was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Officers learned that the girl was in a vehicle with a 20-year-old man and a 28-year-old man when another car – a white Ford sedan – pulled up next to them.
A passenger of the white Ford threatened the victims with a handgun. The victims accelerated away from the White Ford and reported hearing three to five shots near Harry and Oliver.
When the shots were fired, they struck the girl as well as the vehicle the victims were driving.
