Two teenage suspects were arrested in connection with a Leadville shooting that injured one.
On Monday, at approximately noon, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a shooting near 19773 Highway 24 in Leadville.
The call came from a teenage boy who reported being confronted by two other teens and was shot in his arm, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation said in a news release.
The teen was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries and has since been released.
Shortly after the incident, Lake County deputies found and arrested the two male teenage suspects, both of which are from the Leadville/Lake County area according to CBI.
Both suspects have been charged with attempted first-degree murder.
CBI has requested to take the lead on the investigation with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office assisting.
Officials said there is no ongoing threat to the community.
The investigation remains active and ongoing and CBI and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office are asking that anyone with information related to this incident please call the Lake County Emergency Communication Center at 719-486-1249.
