Teenager injured in Jamaica Plain shooting

A teenager has non-life-threatening injuries after he was shot in Jamaica Plain Saturday evening, Boston police said.

Officers responded to the call of a person shot in the area of 65 Walden St. at 7:37 p.m. Saturday, said Officer James Kenneally, a police spokesman.

Kenneally said he could not give an exact age, but that the victim is in his late teens.

Officers are actively investigating the incident, Kenneally said.

No arrests had been made as of 9 p.m.

The shooting occurred just about two hours after a young girl, believed to be about 10-years-old, was critically injured when she was struck inside her Roxbury home by a stray bullet fired from a gun in a neighboring apartment.

This is a developing story.
