TWIN FALLS • A teenage boy was slain in a what police are calling a drive-by shooting just before 4 p.m. Saturday while he rode his bicycle near Canyon Ridge High School.

About a dozen police officers, the county coroner and county prosecutor had descended on the normally quiet upper-middle class residential neighborhood near the North Pointe subdivision by 4:30 p.m. and yellow police tape blocked off several streets.

Police have not released the boy’s name and are still trying to reach his next of kin.

Saturday night, police were talking with witnesses to identify suspects.

A police statement said several leads “indicate that the shooting was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public.”

“This is unusual all around for our area,” city spokesman Joshua Palmer said.

By all accounts, the neighborhood is quiet and has the familiar signs of suburbia: the smell of charcoal from barbecue grills and kids running through backyards.
