Fort Wayne police are attempting to piece together the possible correlation

between a juvenile being shot and a vehicle striking a house in the 3200 block

of Winter Street on Saturday night.

According to a police report, officers were called to the 3200 block of Winter

Street at 10:54 p.m. in response to multiple gunshots, followed by a reported

vehicle striking a home. Upon arrival, shell casings were discovered in the

street in the 3100 and 3200 blocks, and the vehicle was spotted with blood

inside, although no one was present.

While searching the area, officers were then alerted that a juvenile had been

taken to a hospital, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The male juvenile

was originally listed in serious condition, but was downgraded to critical,

according to the report.

The report states that officers' preliminary information shows an argument

started in the 3100 block of Winter Street, resulting in shots being fired.

However, it is unknown if the victim was in the vehicle that struck the house.

Police continued to search the area early Sunday morning, questioning possible

witnesses and collecting evidence as they wait to speak with the possible victim.



Anyone with information is asked to call the Fort Wayne Police Department

(427-1222) or Crime Stoppers (436-7867).

The incident is being investigated by Fort Wayne police and the Allen County

Prosecutor's Office.
