A juvenile was shot in the leg Friday afternoon in the City of Brentwood and had to be airlifted by a medical helicopter to a local hospital.
According to preliminary information, Brentwood Police received a report of shots fired at the Harvest Park Bowling Alley at 3:01 pm in the 5000 block of Balfour Road. While working that incident, there was a report that the gunshot victim was elsewhere. Police located the victim in the Burger King parking lot in the 1100 block of 2nd Street.
The teen was then transported to Liberty High School where he was airlifted to a local hospital. The incident prompted Liberty High School and Edna Hills to be on temporary lock-down.
Police said it took them about 20-minutes to locate the victim who was a juvenile and did not believe he was a resident of Brentwood.
As of 4:40 pm, police were still at the bowling alley investigating as to whether the juvenile was shot or this was a case of an accidental discharge of a firearm.

Too bad he didn’t shoot off his so he couldn’t ever reproduce.
I agree! What were kids doing unsupervised in a bowling alley at 3 pm on a school day?
I am seeing a pattern of 14-16 year old teens committing crimes while armed. Why is this happening more often?
Yes! This is why these little creeps should have their names REVEALED! Enough with this crap that just because they are juveniles, their names are withheld. They SHOULD be made public BECAUSE they are juveniles. This state has it BACKWARDS like the many things it has backwards!
I agree! 100%!
Hahahahahahahahaha! Ha! Poetic justice! Darwinism @ it’s finest!
Yesssss! He should be presented with a DARWIN AWARD for attempting take himself out of genetic circulation!
