Police are investigating after a juvenile arrived at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health with a gunshot wound Thursday evening.

It is unclear where the shooting took place, but officer Christopher Wilburn, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesman, confirmed the wounded person is in stable condition.

An IMPD sergeant standing outside the emergency room entrance at Riley told The Indianapolis Star that the 13-year-old boy suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his leg after he and his friends were playing with a gun when it went off.
