Numerous 911 calls led police to the scene.

No injuries were reported.

The suspect fled on foot, but was located minutes later hiding in an auto repair garage approximately 700 meters from the shooting site.

Authorities say the teen was arrested for possession of a firearm. The suspect is currently being held at a youth detention centre and will be questioned by investigators later today.

The investigation is ongoing.
