Hutchinson Police worked a shooting incident which may have actually happened in the county.

Apparently, two 17-year-old’s from Wichita were on their way to Hutchinson with one having a gun in their waist band. He was driving when the gun went off striking him in the leg.

The passenger then started driving and took his friend to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for treatment. That’s where police got involved and the two apparently told police information that wasn’t true.

According to Police Captain Troy Hoover, the accidental shooting occurring on Mayfield Rd, east of Hutchinson. The two may have thrown some evidence out along Airport Road north of 11th. You may have seen police working the side of the road for that evidence.

The 17-year-old wounded in the leg had to have surgery according to Hoover.

Both will have some explaining to do when they talk with police about them giving false information. That includes statements that caused police to put out information that officers should be on the lookout for another vehicle, which never really existed.

The names of the teens has not been released.
