Delaware State Police Investigating After 15-Year-Old Shot Outside Roller Skating Rink In Newark

NEWARK, Del. (CBS) -- Delaware State Police are investigating a shooting of a 15-year-old boy outside a skating rink in Newark. The shooting happened in the parking lot of the Christiana Skating Center around 9 p.m. Monday.

Police say the teen was walking through the parking lot to his ride home when he was shot twice in the lower body by an unknown suspect who fired multiple rounds.

Doctors treated him for non-life-threatening injuries.

The Christiana Skating Center released a strongly-worded statement on Tuesday:

"It seems it does not matter whether it is a school, mall, movie theater or entertainment center, people have a lack of resect for their fellow human beings and for the businesses they attend."

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective A. Lloyd of Troop 2 Major Crimes United at 302-365-8411.
