A 17-year-old boy was shot twice Wednesday afternoon in a shooting that led to a second shooting involving Dayton police officers.

The first shooting happened at 12:08 p.m., when the Dayton Police Department received two gunshot detection alerts of shots fired in the area of Catalpa Drive and Yale Avenue, said Lt. Col. Matt Carper, assistant chief of police and deputy director.

“A 17-year-old was shot two times,” he said.

Police did not release information on the teen’s condition, however, emergency radio traffic indicated he suffered critical injuries.

“Witnesses informed detectives who arrived on scene that the suspects fled to an address on Lexington (Avenue),” Carper said.

One of four men spotted on the porch of a home matched the description of the shooter, and at one point one of the men pointed a gun at detectives, Carper said.
