Police in Sanford are looking for whoever shot a 16-year-old as he was walking in an area south of downtown Monday afternoon.
Police said the teen was in the area of Ninth Street and Holly Avenue, just west of North French Avenue, when he was shot in the leg. Police believe the whoever pulled the trigger was in a dark-colored sedan. The teen was able to get to a nearby family member’s home and was taken to the hospital.
