The 17-year-old tells investigators he was with a group of friends hanging in the back of the school when the suspects walked up to him.

The victim says the two suspects approached him about buying drugs. The 17-year-old says he didn't know the two and they exchanged words.

The two teens walked away while calling someone on the phone and giving their location.

The victim says a few minutes later, a third male approached with the other two and pointed a handgun at him making threats.

A fight broke out and the three suspects attacked the 17-year-old victim.

Investigators say that's when the third male fired a gun at the victim, striking him once in the leg.

The males fled on foot from the area.

While surveying the area, bike officers stopped two males fitting the descriptions given by the victim on the 3800 block of Elmore Place.
