Per the SPD Blotter a 17-year-old boy managed to escape a drive-by shooting in the High Point area Wednesday night after running to his home for safety.

On Jan.14 at approximately 8 p.m. the teenage victim and a friend were standing in front of a convenience store on Delridge WY S.W. and S.W. Findlay when a blue or black SUV slowly drove past.

The victim and his friend observed the occupants of the SUV staring them down.

When the SUV made a U-turn to come back in their direction the boys ran away with the victim making it to his home. As soon as he was inside the door the sound of several gunshots rang out. Responding officers with the gang unit found numerous bullet holes on the outside of the victim’s home.

Though no one was injured an 11-month-old baby and 12-year-old child were inside the house at the time of the shooting. Gang Unit detectives as well as officers with the Southwest Precinct are currently investigating.

More information to come as it develops.
