Overview
- The shooting unfolded near Elm Street and Palisade Avenue late Sunday evening when an apparent shooter fired into a group, leaving a 20-year-old man dead and four teenagers wounded.
- A 15-year-old boy was detained at the scene by officers who had heard the shots and pursued the suspect, and authorities have not yet announced any charges or an arraignment.
- The four injured victims are ages 14 to 16 and are hospitalized in critical but stable condition while hospitals and police continue to monitor their care.
