LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Police are searching for the gunman who shot a teenager on the south side of California Park near Phyllis Wheatley Elementary School Monday afternoon.

The victim is described as being in his "middle teens." Mitchell said the boy was taken to University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The shooting caused school leaders to increase security at Wheatley Elementary to Level 5 and delay dismissal about a half-hour. Buses may get some students home a little late.
There are no suspects, Mitchell said. Police are canvassing the neighborhood for potential witnesses.
