BELLAIRE — One juvenile and a 22-year-old man were involved in an incident late Sunday in which a minor female was shot in the leg in Bellaire, leaving her hospitalized.

The Bellaire Police Department received a call at 11:38 p.m. Sunday regarding shots fired in the area of the 4300 block of Franklin Street and the 4200 block of Harrison Street, according to Police Chief J.J. Watson.

Officers arrived on the scene to find a 17-year-old female with a gunshot wound to her right leg. The victim told responding officers who had shot her in the leg.
