Bullet grazes teen after skate park dispute leads to drive-by in Sumner

A dispute between two teenagers led to a shooting Friday night at Sumner’s skate park, police said.

A bullet grazed a 17-year-old boy’s leg. No one was seriously injured.

The teen called 911 about 8:40 p.m. to report the shooting at the 9,000-square-foot park in the Daffodil Valley Sports Complex.

“He and another person were in a car at the skate park parking lot and another person drove by and shot at the car,” police spokeswoman Carmen Palmer said.

Officers have a suspect in the shooting and are working to track him down.

It’s unclear what the dispute was about.
