UPDATE: Five teenagers were shot at an eastside apartment complex. A 15-year old boy has been taken into custody.
El Paso Police say the 5 people shot are all between the ages of 15 and 17. A 17-year-old female has possibly life threatening injuries, while the other 4 have non-life threatening injuries.
According to Officer Adrian Cisneros, a spokesperson for the El Paso Police Department, a group was having a disagreement and it seemed like they were going to fight, when another person arrived and fired shots at the group.
