A 17-year-old boy was shot three times Saturday night, Fullerton police said.

Officers received multiple calls just after 9:45 p.m. about shots fired in the 2300 block of Iris Court, said Sgt. Jon Radus.

When police arrived, they found the teen in the street suffering from gunshot wounds to the right leg, right shoulder and head.

He was taken to a hospital in critical condition. A motive for the attack was not immediately clear.

Authorities were canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses Saturday night.
