Charlottesville Police are investigating after a minor was shot downtown earlier this week.

The department said that officers responded to reports of shots fired around 10 o’clock Monday night near Sixth and Garrett streets.

They arrived to find one boy suffering from a gunshot wound. C-P-D says he has since been treated and released from U-V-A Medical Center.

Nearly 25-hundred homes in the area reportedly lost power moments after the shooting, which was restored shortly after midnight. Authorities have not confirmed if the shooting and following outage are related.
