Colorado Springs arrested a juvenile suspect Monday in a targeted shooting that happened across the street from Doherty High School, authorities say.
The name of the 16-year-old suspect was not released because he is a juvenile. He has been charged with attempted first-degree murder.
On Sept. 22, a boy was shot and injured in the 4600 block of Austin Bluffs Parkway, across the street from the high school. Arrest warrants were issued against two juveniles on Sept. 26, according to a news release by Lt. Howard Black of the Colorado Springs police.
Numerous Colorado Springs police officers and members of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force have been trying to track the suspects down.
On Monday afternoon, one of the suspects was seen climbing into a car near Academy Boulevard and Austin Bluffs Parkway. Authorities followed the car to Manitou Springs and arrested the 16-year-old suspect without incident.
