Deputies discovered that a 16-year-old boy had been shot when he was walking with a friend nearby. The friends were approached by males in a white car who got out and started asking the victim where he was from, while the others held onto the friend.

The victim apparently tried to run away from the area when he was shot multiple times, officials said. The victim and the friend ran from the area and the victim collapsed along Tawney Ridge Lane. He was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition, police said.

While deputies were investigating the shooting, police got a call about another gunshot victim along Mohave Drive.

Detectives later confirmed the two teens were involved in the shooting and that three others remained at large.
