Wichita police investigate drive-by shooting that hurt one person Monday evening

A 37-year-old woman was shot during a Monday evening drive-by shortly after being dropped off at her house, Wichita police said.

Emergency crews were called at around 5:49 p.m. to a reported shooting in the 1600 block of North Green, a Sedgwick County dispatch supervisor said. That’s near 17th and Grove.

First responders found the woman, who had a gunshot wound to her shoulder, Officer Charley Davidson said. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury.

“The investigation revealed the victim had just been dropped off at home when a vehicle occupied by multiple individuals drove by the home and fired multiple shots, striking the victim,” Davidson said.

While police were at the home, they also talked to a 17-year-old boy who lives there. The child had a handgun and was arrested on suspicion of criminal possession of a firearm by a juvenile.

The investigation is ongoing into the shooting, which police said was not random. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
