17-Year-Old Shot Multiple Times in Leg in Hartford: Police

A 17-year-old is recovering after being shot multiple times in the leg in Hartford on Saturday.

Officers say the teenager walked into the emergency room at St. Francis Hospital after being shot three times in his left leg. Experts classified the teenager's injuries as non life-threatening.

A blood trail was followed from the emergency room to the curbline near the emergency room entrance, but information about a possible transport vehicle could not be determined, officers say.

According to police, the teenager told them he was near Garden Street and Pliny Street when he heard seven gun shots and felt pain to his left leg, but he refused to provide further information. Officers say they later found shell casings near 89 Pliny Street.

ShotSpotter was not activated during the incident and there were no witnesses, officers say.
