Teen Shoots, Injures Another Teen At Oakland County Park: Sheriff

OXFORD TOWNSHIP, MI — A 16-year-old Clarkston boy has been arrested in connection with the shooting of another teen in Oakland County last week, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

The shooting happened at 11:30 p.m. Friday at Oakwood Lake Township Park in Oxford Township, according to officials.

A 17-year-old boy told officers the 16-year-old pointed a laser in his eyes during a party at the park, sparking an argument, according to officials.

The 16-year-old then shot the 17-year-old boy in the wrist and left the park, according to officials.

The 17-year-old boy was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated and released, according to officials.

Officers arrested the 16-year-old boy Saturday in a Springfield Township mobile home park, according to officials.

He was placed in the Oakland County Children’s Village and is expected to be charged in connection with the shooting, according to officials.

"This is unacceptable on so many levels," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "Our detectives will continue their hard work to determine how and where he illegally obtained this firearm and we will seek to hold him accountable."

Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 248-858-4950.
