SEDGWICK COUNTY — A 16-year-old girl has been arrested in Oklahoma in connection with a Wichita shooting that injured two people Sunday.
At about 3 p.m. Sunday, Wichita police were dispatched to a disturbance in the 3400 block of North Inwood. During that investigation, officers learned an unreported shooting had occurred earlier that day, at about 3 a.m., in a park parking lot in the 3100 block of North Oliver.
Preliminary investigation found that an 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl were in the parking lot when they were confronted by the 16-year-old suspect. A disturbance followed, and the suspect fired a gun, striking both victims.
The 18-year-old suffered a graze wound to her lower torso. The 17-year-old suffered a graze wound to her upper torso. Both injuries were non-life threatening.
As the investigation continued, officers and investigators learned the suspect had been reported as a runaway and had traveled to Oklahoma. The Wichita Police Department coordinated with the Oklahoma City Police Department, which located and apprehended her.
Wichita police are working with Oklahoma City authorities to return the suspect to Wichita. She will be booked on two counts of aggravated battery.
