Juvenile Injured In North Redding Shooting, Teenage Suspect Arrested

Someone was shot at a North Redding apartment complex Monday afternoon, and a suspect is in custody. Redding Police were called at 2:45PM to the Kennett Court Apartments at 1081 Lake Boulevard near Santa Rosa Way. They found a juvenile victim with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and at last word was in critical but stable condition. The teenage suspect fled on foot and pointed the gun at passing drivers while trying to steal their cars. Nobody stopped for him and he kept running. Witnesses pointed the way for officers, who caught up to him in a nearby neighborhood. He was seen ditching the gun before surrendering, and it was recovered. Neither the victim nor the suspect are being identified due to their ages. Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at 225-4251.
