Teen grazed by bullet during shooting with Detroit police
(CBS DETROIT) - Police say a teen boy was grazed by a bullet during a shooting with officers in Detroit on Thursday.
The shooting happened in the area of Fenkell Avenue and Bramell.
In a news conference, Police Chief James White said police with special operations were on patrol when they encountered the teen and investigated him for carrying a concealed weapon. White said as police were investigating, the teen ran away, prompting a chase.
Authorities are working to confirm the teen's age, White said.
He said shots were fired, but it's unclear who fired the first shot. Shotspotter confirmed that at least two shots were fired.
White said the teen suffered a graze wound on his leg. He was transported to a hospital and has since been released.
Police recovered a 9mm gun that was reported stolen in 2022 from Dearborn Heights.
White said more details of the shooting will be included in DPD's community release.
