Teens, 14 and 16, shot at Cleveland apartment complex: ‘Our neighborhood needs healing’
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Cleveland Councilperson Richard Starr says two teens were shot Friday at the Rainbow Terrace Apartments in Garden Valley.
Cleveland EMS says the victims, 14 and 16, were taken to University Hospitals in critical condition.
Witnesses reported to Starr a group of teens were making a video in a hallway when another person approached.
Starr said a dispute followed and then shots were fired.
There’s no word yet on who shot the teens.
“One of the things that is disturbing for me, is the fact that 14-year-olds, 16-year-olds have more access to a gun than they do to a meal or furthering their education,” Starr said.
“Our neighborhood needs healing,” he added.
This is the same apartment complex where an explosion killed one person and left more than 100 displaced.
