A teeenager is dead and another injured after a conflict at an Adams County park escalated to a shooting late Saturday night.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office received reports of gunfire at Rotella Park at 11:18 p.m. Saturday, the agency said on X. Both teens shot were involved in the altercation, spokesman Sgt. Adam Sherman said.
No arrests had been made in the shooting as of Monday morning and investigators are still working to identify suspects, Sherman said.
“We’ve had conflicting information and nobody seems to want to be forthright, it seems,” Sherman said.
