The shooting happened at an apartment at Raintree Apartments in Lexington. Initially the teen told police that someone shot him from a car and drove away. Eventually, he told police the shooting actually happened after someone found a gun in an apartment at the complex.
Officers determined that three male juveniles – the 14-year-old, 16-year-old, and a 17-year-old – were inside the apartment playing with a handgun. The 16-year-old was in possession of the gun when it discharged, striking the 14-year-old.
The victim remains in the hospital in stable condition.
