Three males were shot, two of them 17 and one of them 16, in addition to a 16-year-old girl. Police say they were shot in their extremities and taken to the hospital."It's unclear at this time whether or not any of the gunshot victims were also shooters or whether or not the shooters came upon this group of four juveniles and shot at them and then took off. We just don't know that yet," Pace said.
Last summer, the mayor announced the city would offer a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any member of the public who fires a gun causing injuries to others within 500 feet of a city school, recreation center, or library. According to the city controller's office, 112 juveniles were shot this year through August 3 including 97 boys and 15 girls. That's 15% fewer than last year when 132 juveniles were shot by August 3.
There are rec center surveillance cameras, and police are hoping they will have more information when they review the footage.
