Gang detectives are conducting an investigation following a shooting that occurred in South Park earlier this evening. A 16-year-old male is at Harborview Medical Center after he was shot in the head.
At approximately 6:45 pm on Wednesday, February 7th, 911 began receiving calls of “shots fired” and a person down at 14th Avenue South and South Trenton Street.
