MIDVALE — One person was taken to the hospital in critical condition Sunday evening after what police say was a gang-related drive-by shooting.
Police received a call of a shooting around 8 p.m. at the Green Leaf apartments, 7940 So. Main Street. Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said officers found a male teen with a gunshot wound.
The teen was taken to a nearby hospital. As of Sunday night, Hoyal said they were seeking a dark-colored, or silver, Oldsmobile Alero that was seen leaving the scene at the time of the shooting.
