Teenager Shot in West Palm Beach While Riding Bike

The teen was critically wounded, authorities say

Police say a car pulled next to a 13-year-old boy riding a bicycle and fired several shots, critically wounding him.

West Palm Beach police say the teen was shot at least three times Wednesday near the county's bus service headquarters.

Police spokesman Allan Ortman told the Palm Beach Post the teen received was shot at least one time in the upper body.

Authorities are looking for a car with a convertible-style roof that is slightly lighter in color than the rest of the vehicle.

The boy's name has not been released. No further details were immediately available.
