A 14-year-old boy was shot in the leg in a “drive-by” Wednesday night while sitting with another teenager on the porch of a northeast Denver home, police said.
The victim, whose identity was not released, was rushed to Denver Health Medical Center in critical condition, but he had been upgraded to stable a short time later, Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.
Police were looking for a black, two-door car with dark-tinted windows, Jackson said.
Gang Unit officers were investigating the incident, which occurred about 8:30 p.m., at East 49th Avenue and Milwaukee Street, Jackson said.
Two boys were on the porch when an unspecified number of shots rang out. Police did not release further details about the suspect’s vehicle or about the shooting.
The other boy on the porch was not hit, Jackson said.
