RPD: Boy, 17, shot while riding in stolen car in parking lot

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Rochester Police say a man fired shots at stolen car that was driving at him in the parking lot of Norton Village Apartments. A boy, 17, is now recovering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

It all started when a stolen Hyundai and Kia with multiple teens inside were riding around the parking lot around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday. As the cars were about to leave the area, they circled back and tried to drive at the 46-year-old man, who fired several rounds from a legally-owned handgun.

Soon after, police got a call for a 17-year-old with a gunshot wound on South Union Street. RPD says they found both stolen cars near that street and arrested a 15-year-old.

The 17-year-old was taken to the hospital and the 15-year-old was charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was taken to the Monroe County Children’s Center.

The 46-year-old man is not facing charges.
