Topeka police are investigating a shooting in south Topeka on Friday that sent one person to the hospital.

Authorities say the victim was shot around 5:15 p.m. near the intersection of 33rd and Gage Blvd. He was alert and responsive before being taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The shooter was gone before officers arrived on the scene. Authorities say he was driving a gold 2-door Chrysler convertible.

Workers at La Petite Academy, a nearby daycare, heard the shots and called police. Investigators found several stray bullets struck the building.

The child care center went on a voluntary lock down. All children were moved away from windows; parents could still come pick up their children they said.
