GARY — A juvenile was wounded Tuesday in an accidental shooting behind the former Lew Wallace High School, police said.

Gary police responded about 6:25 p.m. to the 400 block of West 45th Avenue for a gunshot wound victim.

One juvenile had been shot and was taken by ambulance to a hospital with a serious but not life-threatening wound, Lt. Dawn Westerfield said. She declined to release further information about the child because of age.

Westerfield said two witnesses The Times observed at the scene called in the shooting and were cooperating with police. The case remains under investigation.
