3 Teens Shot In Drive-By In Cleveland

CLEVELAND — Three teenagers were wounded during a drive-by shooting in Cleveland on Friday night.

A group of teenagers were standing together near E. 131st and Southview Avenue, near a bus station, when seven to 10 gunshots rang out. One teenager, 14, was shot in the upper right thigh but managed to run away and call police.

When officers arrived and interviewed the 14-year-old, he said he feared the shooters had followed him. As police spoke with the teen, reports came in that two teenagers with gunshot wounds had been rushed to Marymount Hospital. Their wounds were connected to the E. 131st and Southview shooting.

Police said a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old were at the hospital. The 17-year-old had a gunshot wound to his foot, and the younger boy had a wound to the right side of his head. All three of the bullet-wounded victims were in stable condition, police records said.

Police said they are tracking down video footage of the shooting from several surrounding buildings and churches.
