Girl was shot, injured in a downtown Boise shooting. Police are investigating
The Boise Police Department is investigating a downtown Boise shooting that left a minor injured Saturday night.
Boise police officers responded to the 800 block of Main Street just before 11 p.m. Saturday after an altercation broke out between a group of mostly juveniles who knew each other, department spokesperson Haley Kramer told the Idaho Statesman by email.
During the fight, one of the boys fired a weapon in the direction of several people and struck a girl, Kramer said. The girl was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries, Kramer said.
Haley Williams, another spokesperson for the department, told the Statesman by email that no one has been arrested and that an investigation was ongoing. Williams said that “evidence from the investigation” points to the shooting being gang-related, and that more information could become available later.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ada County Dispatch at 208-377-6790. Witnesses can also reach out to Crime Stoppers at 208-343-26777, 343cops.com or using the P3 Tips app.
