PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police say a teenage boy was fatally shot at a home where about a half-dozen juveniles had gathered when no adult was present.
Police say the victim shot Monday afternoon was either 15 or 16 years and that other juveniles at the home when officers arrived ranged from 5 to 16 years old.
According to police, a boy either 16 or 17 years old left the home 17-year-old before officers arrived but returned a few hours later and spoke with detectives.
Some of the juveniles lived at the residence and that others were visitors. A Police Department spokeswoman, Sgt. Mercedes Fortune, said it wasn't immediately clear who owned the gun.
