A 16-year-old was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after a dispute between juveniles ended in gunfire Wednesday, according to Dayton police.

Just after 5:30 p.m., officers responded to the 1000 block of Danner Ave. for a report of a person shot.

When officers arrived, they found the teen and began providing first aid, said Lt. Eric Sheldon.

“It was determined a dispute between juveniles escalated to shots being fired,” he said. “Numerous shell casings were recovered at the scene.”

Detectives from the department’s violent offender unit are continuing to investigate.
