LANSING — A 15-year-old boy was shot in the head Sunday night while riding in a car, police said.
Lansing police were dispatched about 9:50 p.m. to the 3600 block of Lake Street for a report of shots fired, Lt. Al Phillips said.
A short time later, the teen arrived at Community Hospital in Munster in a car driven by a relative, police said.
Police received an initial report that the shooting occurred outside a smoke shop at 15 Ridge Road, but no evidence was found at that location, Phillips said.
After speaking with the victim's relative, police learned he'd been shot while riding in a car on Lake Street in Lansing, police said.
Investigators were told someone in a small gray four-door car shot at the vehicle in which the teen was riding, sending a bullet through the windshield and and striking the boy in the forehead.
