MEDFORD, Ore. – Two people were shot and injured at a Medford mobile home park.
While the Medford Police Department is still investigating the shooting, they said initial evidence indicates a 17-year-old boy was involved in a dispute with a 15-year-old “acquaintance” throughout Sunday night.
The 17-year-old was alone at his mobile home in Peachwood Village at about 2:00 a.m. Monday when the 15-year-old and his 22-year-old brother showed up to try and attack the teen, police said. One of them was apparently armed with a blunt object similar to a tire iron.
According to MPD, the 17-year-old used a .30-30 rifle to shoot both subjects once they entered the home. The 15-year-old sustained non-life threatening injuries and the 22-year-old is in critical condition.
MPD said, “Alcohol is a factor in this case.”
The shooting is not considered gang-related.
The 17-year-old shooter is cooperating in the case, which remains under investigation.
