Lenexa police say a shooting victim who was transported to the hospital from an address in their city was reportedly shot in Shawnee.
Around 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Lenexa officers were dispatched to respond with Johnson County Med-Act for a female who had been shot.
Deputy Police Chief Dawn Layman of the Lenexa Police Department says the shooting is believed to have happened in Shawnee.
"We notified Shawnee, and Shawnee PD responded to the Overland Park Regional and contacted the victim," Dep. Chief Layman told Operation 100 News on Monday morning.
Sources have confirmed to Operation 100 News that the shooting victim is a 15-year-old girl who was shot once in the chest. She was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Several Shawnee officers were dispatched to check the area of the Cottonwood Park Apartments, near 63rd Street and Widmer Road. It is unclear if those officers located a scene.
The Shawnee Police Department's online activity log includes a case number classified as "assault/battery" in the 6300 block of Cottonwood Drive. The description of the case number only states, "information on a juvenile."
Major Sam Larson of the Shawnee Police Department says they don't have many details about the incident.
"It was reported to us that the incident occurred in the 6300 block of Cottonwood earlier in the evening last night," Maj. Larson said. "We have no suspect information at this time, and we did not have any calls of shots fired in the area."
According to Larson, the victim was treated and released from the hospital.
"Our detectives in our Investigations Bureau continue to investigate the case," Maj. Larson said.
Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.
