Authorities have recovered a white sedan that may have been used in Lynn on Tuesday when a 15-year-old boy was shot multiple times while riding his scooter on a major street, police said.

Around 4:48 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to reports of a shooting on Fayette Street, where they discovered the boy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital with injures that are not believed to be life-threatening, police said Wednesday.
